Turn! Turn! Turn!: Blue Numbered Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Music On Vinyl
Release Date: 3rd October

I will stand firmly on the hill and plant my flag that says The Byrds are one of the most important bands in American music. 'Turn! Turn! Turn!' is a 60 year old album, their second record and the harmonies are sweeter, the title track is as evocative of any 60s pop track from the time, Gene Clark is giving classic Gene melancholy on 'Set You Free This Time', country standard 'Satisfied Mind' is hint at the sound of The Byrds to come along with their supremely tangy close of 'Oh! Susannah' plus you got some Dylan classics... LOOK, The Byrds are my band. Oh, and while I go you, Roger McGuinn should be heralded as a guitar god.

The Byrds sophomore record "Turn! Turn! Turn!" came just half year after their commercial success of the album and single "Mr. Tambourine Man". "Turn! Turn! Turn!" was an immediate success with the title track reaching #1 in the US Billboard chart and the album landing in the Top 20. The album contains less Dylan covers which gives more room for David Crosby, Gene Clark and Jim McGuinn to show their own writing skills. The album is a real early jangle pop essential, where you can hear the bands influence on bands like R.E.M., Teenage Fanclub, and Crowded House. The sound of the 12-string Rickenbacker guitar, the rich vocal harmonies, and personal lyrics give the album a timeless feel. To everything there is a season! This winter we celebrate 240th seasons of this timeless classic!
"Turn! Turn! Turn!" is available as a 60th anniversary edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on blue coloured vinyl.
