08/02/2010 - The Byrds - 7" Vinyl
7" Vinyl 5-pack package deal. The Byrds' extended family tree encompassed such a diverse array of talents that many crucial tracks have long remained unreleased or out of print. Sundazed has gone a long way towards redressing this situation, with a series of 7" singles and EPs collecting historic and long-unavailable material by the Byrds and their equally notable spin-off acts, with distinctive picture sleeves featuring rare and unpublished photos. The Byrds' Live In Holland 1971 captures the band's Clarence White-era lineup at its live best, while "Lazy Days"/"Reputation" presents two previously-unheard alternate versions cut during the Gram Parsons-era Byrds' seminal Sweetheart of the Rodeo sessions. "Only Columbe"/"The French Girl" is a brilliant long-lost baroque-pop solo single by original Byrd Gene Clark. And a pair of releases featuring Gram Parsons' pre-Byrds outfit the International Submarine Band delivers six impossibly rare non-album numbers by that pioneering combo, 'One Sum Up Broke/One Day Week', 'Blue Eyes/Luxury Liner/Miller’s Cave/I Must Be Somebody Else You’ve Known'. Now you can get all five of these essential releases on 7" vinyl for the low price of £24.99.
