The Byrds – Turn! Turn! Turn!

This a god awful pressing. Bad sounding and obscene amounts of surface noise on every track. Pure garbage. And yes, it thoroughly cleaned in my Hannl RCM prior to reviewing. Avoid. There are many better pressings of this classic available.

Was this album ever released on 4-Track cartridge? I don't see one listed anywhere here.

The label is not Columbia but CBS you should edit that

Further solidified The Byrds as the premier folk-rock unit with their signature jangle guitar sound, dynamic textures, great country-esque vocal harmonies, pop oriented instrumentations & songs that ooze a certain spiritual nature. Successful accomplishment of that difficult 2nd album - initial boosters (Mr Tambouring Man) jettisoned while first stage continues to burn (Turn Turn Turn) - second stage (Fifth Dimension) about to be fired. Worth hearing among the canon of other great Byrds albums.

Fantastic copy done by Kevin Gray. Not to be confused with another Sundazed Mono release that is very similar. This one has different matrices and it’s FANTASTIC!

Does anyone here happen to know how to tell if a 1965-1967 SEALED Byrds album is a legit earliest pressing, rather than a later pressing ? I know sealed albums can be a fricking tricky venture....but there must be clues that collectors can watch out for that might be able to distinguish between the two. (thanks !)

My copy of this one has flipback cover. Bought it new in the UK 1969.

I have an original mono copy with a blank white back cover slick. The front cover is the standard release. Never seen this before with any record. I'm wondering whether it represents either an error or a very early pressing. The mono label is the standard red two-eye "nonbreakable" label.

Thoughts?

The date is incorrect as to the time of issue. This is a late eighties to early 90s release.

My wife found a copy of this at a Thrift Store in Denver... it's a bit scratchy, but the sound is great. I thought I'd get the Sundazed re-issue, and though that is clean, the sound is remarkably quieter than the original. The test I did (cellphone app) was significant on my system... amazing the old technology still can't be beat!
