Does anybody have/know where to find the interview questions for the 5D open ended interview? They were either on the sleeve, or on an insert with the original record.

Also, in the CD booklet there is a picture of The Byrds onstage, in which Crosby is playing what appears to be a 325.

Cheers

The guitar Crosby is playing in that picture is Roger McGuinn's Byrd-wired 370 JG.

The interview questions weren't included anywhere with the original record released in 1966. You might be confusing that with the "Eight Miles High" press conference Q&A that is included in the gatefold of Sundazed Records "Another Dimension".

Having never been a huge record buyer, especially in my childhood daze (on my allowance, I'd have to buy the cheaper, mono Beatle albums), I have never had a collection of my favorite artists. I'm in the process of rectifying that. The past few days I've been listening to "The Essential Byrds" newly arrived from Amazon. Wow! Not only do I hear my faves, but many songs I've never heard before. This is great! New songs (to me) from one of my favorite bands. Been doing extra duty on my 12 string when I get home as a result. Gotta get a Jangle Box! Gotta get McGuinn's solo stuff! Gotta work some more overtime!

Hey John. Email me.

Hi Paul, I emailed you.

Steve, thanks for the link to the picture. I have been a Byrds fan since the early seventies, and I have never seen pictures of a rewired Jetglo 12 string. I have a 1968 Jetglo 12 string, so I am happy to see that picture.

As far as the 5D interview insert goes, I have seen one with a copy of the record. I don't know if it was from a separate press kit, or if it was fake, but I have seen one.

Thanks for all the replies.

Jerry: I just got the Byrds Box Set (90+ tunes on 4 CDs plus a great booklet) for about $23 from the BMG club. SO MANY BYRDS TUNES! I highly recommend it!
I can also highly recommend the JangleBox!

90 tunes? 4CDs? 23 bucks? Wow! I'm listening to mine constantly, it's in the car, the alarm clock, computer, everywhere. Awesome. I do need more Byrds tunes now, so I might go for that one eventually. Jangle Box - yes, I'll get one, but I hadn't recovered from buying my Casino when I bought another Rick (to arrive this week), so it's still on my list. Thanks.
