Media Condition: Very Good CD Comments: 1996 remaster with bonus tracks. The Byrds started out as Roger McGuinn’s thing in 1964, but they were a full-on band by the time the first LP arrived. McGuinn’s approach was a revelation: He set an endless cavalcade of Bob Dylan folk songs to compressed, electric, 12-string Rickenbacker guitar, then added soaring vocals harmonies. There are four Dylan covers here, and “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “All I Really Want to Do” were both big hits; there’s also Pete Seeger’s “Bells of Rhymney.” Gene Clark wrote most of the originals, and his “I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better” is irresistible. The press dubbed them the “American Beatles,” and maybe that was a bit much, but The Byrds invented folk-rock, and they still sound thoroughly unique.		Buy $5.99
