 In October 1971 , CBS Records in the UK issued The Byrds ' Greatest Hits Volume II to capitalize on the group 's recent appearance at the Lincoln Folk Festival and perhaps as a reaction to the chart failure suffered by Byrdmaniax . Unfortunately , the compilation album also failed to reach the UK charts , while contemporary reviews made note of its misleading and inaccurate title , since among its twelve tracks , only " Chestnut Mare " had been a genuine hit in the United Kingdom . An equivalent compilation wasn 't released in the U.S. until November 1972 , when The Best of The Byrds : Greatest Hits , Volume II was issued .
