Younger Than Yesterday was somewhat overlooked at the time of its release during an intensely competitive era that found the Byrds on a commercial downslide. Time, however, has shown it to be the most durable of the Byrds' albums, with the exception of Mr. Tambourine Man.
David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, and especially Chris Hillman come into their own as songwriters on an eclectic but focused set blending folk-rock, psychedelia, and early country-rock.
The sardonic "So You Want to Be a Rock & Roll Star" was a terrific single; "My Back Pages," also a small hit, was the last of their classic Dylan covers; "Thoughts and Words," the flower-power anthem "Renaissance Fair," "Have You Seen Her Face," and the bluegrass-tinged "Time Between" are all among their best songs. The jazzy "Everybody's Been Burned" may be Crosby's best composition, although his "Mind Gardens" is one of his most excessive

Why
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Both labels are clean and unmarked with moderate spindle traces.
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both sides shine like new with nothing but a few superficial light marks and wispy hairlines
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout with practically nothing to fault.
A tiny touch of distortion noted at the very end of Side 1 but not a previous tracking issue otherwise it would also appear on Side 2 which it doesn't so most likely a pressing fault.
Otherwise nothing to fault the fantastic sound which is crisp, fresh and immediate with no scratches, clicks or pops
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some soft creasing to the extremities and some light marking bottom back the cover is crisp and sharp with all spine text clear and bold and overall a fine example
