Title: The Byrds wrote the blueprint
Review: Nothing to add to the other reviews criticising the duplications, the omissions and the price, but just to add one observation: Just as the Byrds provided the sonic blueprint for the Springfield in the 60s, they (and with Sony) provided the model for how to do CD reissues:(1) Take each of the original albums and remaster to the highest standard of sound(2) Add lots of bonus tracks (singles, B-sides, outtakes and demos) from the appropriate period of the band's history(3) Provide well-written and informative sleeve notes (4) Retain all original artwork and enhance with period photos, advertisements, posters, etc.(5) Find a classic unreleased live performance and add as a separate new album(6) Release (in chronological order) at mid-priceIf Sony/Columbia/McGuinn can do it properly, I don't see why Rhino/Atco/Stills&Young can't.The music is great, but as a box set this is a non-starter.
