content: This is quite possibly one of the ten finest Albums/CDs every recorded. The Byrds at this time were the best the 60s had to offer and the 60s was the time period that mattered. The songwriting by Crosby in particular was genius. I love the Byrds, I miss Gene Clark, and I only wish this early version of the Byrds could have given us even more output before the break-ups and decline into the "Rodeo" format. Yes, the muscianship of "Mcguin's" country Byrds was truly groundbreaking but the songwriting was not even close. Get this one for a real trip.
