Between the band’s extraordinary harmonies to McGuinn’s guitar tuned to the key of LSD it was hard to go wrong. Stylistically they traveled a weird but not unique road from their early days as the Jet Set, from folk rock to psychedelia to pure country to a combination of all of the above, while establishing themselves as the world’s best Dylan interpreters-so that with every new album you didn’t know what you were going to get, but you knew it would be interesting. So here I am, typing this in between playing chess with Sam Cooke and drinking brandy with Richard Manuel, and basically all I want to say is that The Byrds were a great band, a very great band. No, the song that always gets him is ‘Wasn’t Born to Follow’ or, if he’s been partaking of the magic mushrooms that are everywhere up here, ‘Eight Miles High.’ Says it can turn the most twisted trip into a Holiday Inn of the Mind.” So I said, “Roger, sir, what are you doing here?” and he replied, “God likes my music so much he’s given me a hall pass to come and go as I please.” So I asked him what the Lord’s favorite Byrds songs are and he said, “Well, you’d think it would be ‘The Christian Life’ but he actually doesn’t like that one very much. Which took me back a bit, as McGuinn is still very much alive. Orders of at least $35 and up ship absolutely free.So I died and went to Heaven (naturally) and who should I see as I step off that divine airline but The Byrds’ Roger McGuinn. Orders over $100 are ultrasonically cleaned using our Degritter RCM and will come packaged in our deluxe Whiplash LP mailers. We clean all LP’s and jackets that are in need of cleaning, but we ALWAYS recommend you double check that your LP is clean before being played on the turntable, or else play quality can be affected. The vast majority of our selection is either cleaned by hand, or with our ultrasonic cleaner. Higher-end LP’s will have an anti-static inner sleeve regardless of whether or not they have the original inner sleeve. Records missing the original inner sleeve will have a Japanese style round bottom anti-static inner sleeve substituted. All LP’s and 45’s come with a crisp brand-new 3-mil outer sleeve. The record will be shipped next day with the LP outside of the jacket to avoid seam splits in transit. Your order will come professionally handled packaged in a thick and sturdy Kraft LP mailer sandwiched between poly foam liner and corrugated stiffeners.
