Seems interesting, and I just found out about this now. If I had known earlier, I would have waited to get this for Christmas, instead of getting Turn! Turn! Turn!, Fifth Dimension and Younger Than Yesterday throughout the course of this year.

I wonder if the first four are in mono? Based on the grainy, low-res picture, it doesn't look like it, but who knows? Maybe it repeats from mono to stereo? I wonder how they compare to the 1996 reissues or if the '96 reissue bonus tracks are even included?

Interesting. Although I have the box set There Is a Season, I'm wondering if it would be worth it for this compilation set. I'm thinking maybe so.

Hi, I saw this and was tempted, too. My sense was that these were the albums 'as issued', with no bonus tracks. If that's the case, I have no interest in the set, because I only like about a dozen Byrds songs after the NBB album and a number of that dozen are on the 'There Is a Season' set. Tom
