The Byrds

The Byrds Album: “Playlist: The Very Best Of The Byrds [Digipak]”

Description :

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. <p>Legacy Recordings Playlist series finds the label working with the artist to produce the perfect career retrospective with an eye on both hit singles and fan-favorite album tracks. The eco-friendly set includes 100% post-consumer recycled packaging and a disc painstakingly assembled to include the artist's most definitive songs. Since the Byrds have no single greatest-hits disc that adequately covers their folk-rock, psychedelic, and country-rock eras, PLAYLIST: THE VERY BEST OF THE BYRDS admirably does the job. This collection includes early standards such as "Mr. Tambourine Man" with deep cuts like "Spanish Harlem Incident," while essential non-hits like the deeply psychedelic "Change is Now" and the Gram Parsons-penned "100 Years From Now" represent the band at their critical best.

- Utterly pointless

What was Sony thinking when it put this out?

There have been so many Byrds anthologies released in the past that are better collections with more bang for the buck. This one is a shameless and second-rate ploy to milk a few more buck for Byrds completists. I gave it two stars because it has some great music on it along with some truly odd choices, songs that seem to have been selected by a randomizer rather than on artistic merit. People new to the Byrds should look to the expanded version of the Greatest Hits collection if they don't want to spring for the superior 2-disc Essentials set.

- Like the Byrds? Buy this...

I've read some verbose reviews of some Byrds albums that miss the mark. If you really like the Byrds and want their best, this is the best single example of their studio work.
