"A live performance held at the Boarding House in San Francisco on February 9th, 1978 (February 2nd?). In 1977, Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, and Chris Hillman held a live performance in the US and Europe, where each member performed solo or in various combinations, but this 1978 live performance also featured David Crosby, who thrilled the audience. This album uses the sound source recorded for broadcast by KSAN-FM." From HMV RECORDS product description

In 1973, the members of The Byrds (= the original Byrds) reunited and released one album on Alysham Records. Later, in 1977, Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman and Gene Clark started performing together and released several albums, including [McGuinn, Clark & Hillman], but this tour was a performance with D. Crosby during that time. You can enjoy their acoustic performance without drums or bass. David Crosby appears as a guest on tracks 8 to 16. It is a stereo recording with good FM sound source.

② is the complete version of the so-called 'World Pacific Sessions', which the Byrds recorded as a demo in 1964 before their debut. In addition to the songs that were previously included in 'Early L.A', 'Preflyte' and 'in The Beginning', 16 new takes have been added for the first time. The 52-page deluxe booklet full of precious photos is also a delight. As for the contents, the first thing that catches your eye is the four solo songs by David Crosby (SIDE2-9-10 of which are making their debut this time) from before he joined the group, even more so than his predecessors, the Beefeaters and Jet Set. It's interesting to see the beginnings of his fantastic style of composition, which would later blossom around 1967. It's clear that the Byrds at this time were still aiming to incorporate something "Beatles-like" into their own body, rather than "fusing folk and rock", but even so, Gene Clark's high level of compositional ability is remarkable. I was moved by the innocent first steps of the West Coast sound. 』

Record Collectors March 2002 issue, Takeo Komatsuzaki, Linear Notes

『The Byrds' rehearsal session at World Pacific Studios in 1964, the year before their debut with "Mr. Tambourine Man," has been released in various forms in the past, such as "Preflight" and "In the Beginnings," but this two-disc set contains 40 tracks, including 15 unreleased tracks, and is the definitive version without question. The wonderful music and the comprehensive booklet are also a delight, as is the satisfaction that only Sundayzed can provide. The guys who had been enthusiastic about folk music until then tried to make it electric after the Beatles, and eventually landed on the unique style of "folk rock"... This is a detailed and thrilling document. The repeated "Oh yeah!"s are amusing. One of the best treasures, SIDE 2, ⑩, is a solo recording by David Crosby, who learned directly from Dino Valente, and it is said to be faster than the Young Brats. 』

Record Collectors, May 2002 issue, Yutaka Kimura, Line Notes

Compared to the CBS sound from 1966, it is still a practice, but the recording from 1964, before their debut, has been released on CD. It was first released in 1969, when they were already famous, and has been reissued several times since then, so it is a familiar sound to fans, but it is a precious sound of the departure of the Byrds. This is a take before four songs, including "Mr. Tambourine Man," were re-recorded for the first album. Pay attention to "You Should Me," which was covered by the Turtles as a hit, and "Airport Song," which has a Beach Boys influence. -Omitted-

Record Collectors August 2001 issue, from Mori Tsutomu's Line Notes

This record was released in 2001 by Solid Records in Japan, based on the US release by Sandazed Records, and comes with a 52-page English commentary book (right, image 10). However, when I bought it as a new release from a major CD mail order company (probably T or H), I don't remember seeing the "2 types of postcards" and "20,000-character complete translation" (as stated on the included obi), so I don't think they were included. Also, the outer box is included, but the top (upper left, image 10) was cut with a cutter when opening the packaging, which had no space at the time. The plastic case and record inside have been protected by the box for over 20 years, so they are in perfect condition. Please consider this product with the understanding that it is such a product.

I'm listing these for inventory management, but I'm sorry, but I won't sell them separately. Please purchase as a set of two. I've kept them carefully, and the records are clean, but as stated above, please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous. No claims or returns please. I will try to ship quickly.
