MINT in SHRINK! 1969 FIRST PRESSING
FINAL COLLECTION COPY
*Very Clean* Original 1969 first pressing of a timelessly great Byrds album that features some of their heaviest momemts intertwined with McGuinn 12 string guitar all over the place ...
ON the famously collected 360 Sound Columbia label ...again, the album is tastey M- (details below) The dark cover almost impossible to find in clean condition, some 40 years later, almost all copies have some wear...this one is *clean* ...here's your chance for an upgrade or solid first time score to a classic strong 1969 original!
Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde was the perfect title for the album as the Byrds would produce music that spanned their career. Their rural roots would lead to a number of tracks but Roger McGuinn would also reach back into the group’s past for some good old psychedelic rock ‘n’ roll. It sure made things interesting on this Lp.
As the last remaining original member there was little doubt that by this time Roger McGuinn was in charge. He wrote or co-wrote six of the ten songs and arranged a seventh. He also sang lead on all the tracks contained on the original release.
The first four tracks show perfectly the schizophrenic nature of the album. “This Wheel’s On Fire,” written by Bob Dylan and Rick Danko, is given an almost perfect cover. It quickly establishes that White’s guitar picking style would combine well with McGuinn’s 12 string. The song is transferred into an epic cosmic heavy-rock rendition. Two groovy sound rural rockers quickly follow. “Old Blue” is an old traditional song arranged quite nicely by McGuinn and “Your Gentle Way Of Loving Me,” is treated to a rural-rock sound with a hell of a melody plus some brilliant playing by White. “Child Of The Universe,” which was written for the movie Candy, is dark rock ‘n’ roll.
“Drug Store Truck Drivin’ Man” was a brilliant song written by Roger McGuinn and the departed Gram Parsons. It was a pithy and sarcastic response to the group’s reception at the Grand Ol’ Opry.
Other songs of note were “King Apathy III” which criticized the hypocrisy of some members of the hippie movement and the rocking “Bad Night At The Whiskey.”
Dr.Byrds and Mr. Hyde is better than 95% of what was being released at the time and is very recommended Byrds listening -- an album that provides a lot of surprises and certainly will keep your attention.
