Regular readers will know that I am gradually culling Compilation CDs which are stored in boxes in a corner of the Music Room to free up space.
As such I am avoiding purchasing Mojo or Uncut magazines where possible even although the CD's now come in thin sleeves. The cost of the magazines is probably now the primary reason for resisting temptation.
However Jingle Jangle Mornings - A Byrds Companion was one I could not possibly ignore. The front cover and the name of the CD would have been enough but a quick look at the tracklist quickly sealed the deal. The associated article within the magazine also turned out to be an interesting read as well.
Which songs to share with you proved to be a bit of a challenge as most of them would have been worthy of inclusion. In the end I took a relatively easy approach and plumped for solo numbers by three former Byrds members.
Jingle and indeed Jangle.
Morning CC. Much like you, I try to resist Mojo and Uncut these days, for the same reasons (£). But I too bought this one. It's a fine CD, isn't it?
