A Byrds Bonanza

 


Back in January I featured the album Fifth Dimension by The Byrds

At the time I wrote 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

Well I've taken my time but I've just about made it. A few weeks back I was in town and popped into Missing Records with the expressed intention of picking up some of their earlier albums. 

It turns out I was in luck as I was able to pick up two of their albums in a mini CD box set.

One of the albums as you can see from the picture above was Turn! Turn! Turn! their second release from as far back as 6th December 1965. Therefore by my calculations this post is a day short of the 60th Anniversary of its release! Better late than never.

Some of  the tracks may come across as a bit dated but I would argue that most of them have stood the tests of time. Here are a few examples.

Stay tuned for album two sometime next week


The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn! ( To Everything There is a Season)

The Byrds - Lay Down Your Weary Tune
