about

Before turning rock 'n' roll on its ear in the spring of '65, the Byrds spent countless hours creating and refining their unique sound at LA's World Pacific Studios. Hear history literally in the making as McGuinn, Crosby, Clark, Hillman and Clarke record newborn, spine-tingling versions of classics-to-be like "Mr. Tambourine Man," "You Won't Have To Cry," "I Knew I'd Want You" and "Here Without You" as well as lost gems such as "The Reason Why," "Tomorrow Is A Long Ways Away" and "You Showed Me" (later a smash for the Turtles).

The most comprehensive collection of the Byrds' pre-Columbia recordings ever assembled, The Preflyte Sessions is filled with 40 World Pacific Studio recordings circa 1964 and '65; tracks include all cuts found on the original Together-label Preflyte album, plus unissued and alternate versions from both the acoustic and electric Byrds' sessions, early David Crosby demo recordings, and the rare pre-Byrds Jet Set recording of "The Only Girl I Adore."
