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: EXCELLENT
Clean, unmarked labels with moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: VERY GOOD
Both surfaces are clean with marks but none of these have any significant effect on the sound
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Plays beautifully with little to fault.
No scratches or groove wear or appreciable surface noise, not even in-between tracks.
There is the (very) occasional light tick noted but nothing really, no scratches or anything else, sounds great
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Nice deep gloss to the laminate, a very clean back and sharp edges and spine where all text is clear.
There are a couple of knocks to the front but nothing which punctures the surface (please see close-up photographs)
