My recent upgrade to vinyl of Sweetheart of the Rodeo here convinced me that I needed more stuff by The Byrds even although it is not an atypical album by the band
All I had were Younger Than Yesterday and The Definitive Collection. On a recent trip to the great record shop Love Music I picked up a CD copy of Fifth Dimension their third album originally released in 1966. The CD was a 1996 version as part of the Columbia/Byrds Legacy with an additional 6 tracks.
It's not a bad place to start. It is a mix of Dylanesque Folk with a shift to more psychedelic songs in the run up to the Summer of Love.
They only released 12 studio albums so that's a quarter or them now accounted for. Don't be surprised to see others popping up here during 2025. You have been warned!
