• REMASTERED RELEASE OF THE LEGENDARY REUNION ALBUM BY THE BYRDS FROM 1973.

• WITH FULLY RESTORED ARTWORK AND LINER NOTES.

Released on the Asylum in March 1973, ‘Byrds’ saw the classic line-up of Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, David Crosby, Roger McGuinn and Michael Clarke re-united for the first time since 1966 (when Clark departed the group) and following the departure of Clarke and Crosby in 1967 – Clarke to the Flying Burrito Brothers and Crosby to Crosby, Stills And Nash (And Young).

Recorded at the Wally Heider studios in Los Angeles, the album featured compositions by Gene Clark (‘Full Circle’ and ‘Changing Heart’), Roger McGuinn (‘Sweet Mary’ and ‘Born to Rock n’ Roll’) and Chris Hillman (‘Things Will Be Better’ and ‘Borrowing Time’) along with David Crosby’s ‘Long Live the King’ and a new version of
‘Laughing’ (originally recorded by Crosby on his 1971 solo album ‘If Only I Could Remember My Name’).

The album also features a cover version of Joni Mitchell’s ‘For Free’ and two Neil Young compositions; ‘Cowgirl in the Sand’ and ‘(See the Sky) About to Rain’, the latter not released by Young himself until 1974 when his version appeared on the album ‘On the Beach’.

This remastered edition of ‘Byrds’ restores the original album artwork and features an illustrated booklet with essay.
