REVIEW

When The Byrds went on stage for the last time in 1991 on the occasion of their being inducted into the Hall of Fame, the honourary title of 'Founders of Folk and Country Rock' had long been theirs

And if there were an award for quarrelling, constant changes of band members and a continuous threat of a break-up, then the Byrds would certainly have earned it

When they decided to record Bob Dylan’s smash hit "Mr. Tambourine Man", Dylan himself had to enter on the scene to calm the waters

Eventually the song was recorded with session musicians and the frontman Roger McGuinn, who lent the band their characteristic sound with the unmistakable twang of his 12-string Rickenbacker guitar

Released three years after the band’s founding, Greatest Hits is a compilation of numbers which had proved very popular when released as singles

Alongside Pete Seeger’s musing "Turn, Turn, Turn", the album contains their own space rock compositions "Fifth Dimension", "Mr. Spaceman", and "Eight Miles High", the latter of which has often incorrectly construed as a trip on LSD

The selection of songs on the present album represents the innovative, creative powers of the early Byrds
