Some words on this issue: The BYRDS: “Mr. Tambourine Man” (CBS Sony – SOPL-254) Rare original Japanese pressing from 1969 in totally mint condition, jacket and obi are still housed in original shrink-wrap!!! “The album that defined folk-rock still sounds fresh and exciting. The Byrds would move in decidedly more complex directions soon enough, but never again made an album so consistently good, so overflowing with gorgeous harmonies and 12-string guitars. All of the experiments work: the multiple Dylan covers, the re-working of ‘We’ll Meet Again’ into a rock/ pop song, the Beatles-inspired originals and revamped folk songs arranged as if they are one and the same. The only possible criticism is that the album is short on songwriting but since their musical vision is so singular and so consistent, there’s no way to quibble with any of the song choices, which stack up upon each other perfectly. In fact, it’s arguably this rivals or even tops Rolling Stones Now as the best ever rock and roll album not to be predominantly made up of an artist’s own songs (only 4 of the 12 tracks are originals). It’s also noteworthy that Jackie De Shannon, whose work from a year or so before is the most direct and clear forerunner of the folk-rock sound and who may to this day be the most underrated songwriter of the 60s and early 70s, wrote the lovely ‘Don’t Doubt Yourself’ Babe’, understanding The Byrds’ sound and style perfectly” (AM – Endless Trip). Best account and spot on review ever on this magical LP. Top original copy, mint all the way.
