Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.

Da Boids Is Da Woid - Part IV
Younger Than Yesterday. Longer, too. Thirty-five tracks, mono and stereo, associated recordings, all from official releases. Proto-psych, Chris Hillman stepping up, Gary Usher producing, David Crosby being a pain in the ass - it seems sacrilege to say it, but Gene Clark is barely missed.

ReplyDeleteFebruary, 1967. Breaks yer heart.
I always wanted to be a r&r star.., thanks!
ReplyDeleteRare, but some Sixties groups had so many talented members that you could subtract a voice and writing talent like Clark, and ... get this! The Byrds were one of a few bands that proved fecund like dis.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ongoing saga.
... and then there were three, of course - Crosby the horse's ass got himself kicked out, and the remaining trio went on to make their most perfect pop album - there is no better album than Notorious, by anyone, ever.
DeleteCan never decide what the betterest elpee of all is, but Notorious is one of the suggestions I'd never dream of arguing with. And probably made that argument myself at one point or another. And probably rightly. Never ceases to never cease.
DeleteThere are albums "as good" - your choice here - but none better. A perfect work of (he)art.
DeleteExcellent selection. How do I download the Byrds (and others) please?
ReplyDeleteSincerely, Robin, Moscow Russia
You have to hunt for it. It's always a word or line of text in one of my comments. It should appear in blue, meaning a link. Here, it's my comment beginning "February".
DeleteRe-up? I waited too long and now Uploadfiles is trying to make me pay for 'premium access.' Yeah, right.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be here sometime soon.
DeleteRe-up.
