Got one for you guys.

This came along with the collection "Never, Ever, Before", tracks of which I sent ya'll recently.

An oddity here however, is "SDCAT", which sounds more like a good Byrds tribute band in rehearsal:

It certainly is NOT a board recording; clearly someone sitting in the middle of a practise room/recording studio just hitting "Record" on their tape machine...I think.

Different drum pattern than what Michael used on the finished cut, and the vocals...it just doesn't sound like Gene, Roger, & David singing.

The "Ahs" during the Bach solo are somewhat nice & intriguing; almost sounds like The Rembrandts or somebody.

So which one of you 39 McGuinns is going tp own up to laying this down, and slippling it into a Byrds boot, LOL?!

I'me VERY curious about this recording, and look forward to any/all posts to follow.

Oddity is right, Christian. Whoever heard of a .flac file? Nothing on my PC will open it.

Jim -

There was a discussion about FLAC files here:

Oh yeah, I remember that now. For some reason or another, I had some technical difficulties last time around, so I deleted all the files. I'll try it again and see if I have better luck.

Having problems myself with the files. So, I can't hear it. But, is it possible that the version that you are talking about is by The Flamin' Groovies. They recorded at Gold Star in 1980, and that was one of songs recorded for a album that was never finished. I heard that someone stuck their version "She Care About Time" on a Byrds bootleg many years ago. Not a bad version, just not the best mix. Hope this helps.

Hi Guys-

Sorry about the dowload problem!!

The version in question is indeed The Flamin' Groovies, and thanks for the input!
