RARE 40 year old first pressing of pre-1st Lp DEMO'S
~ ORIGINAL COLLECTIBLE IN MINT
THE BYRDS
PREFLYTE
\ USA - ....Together Records - ST 1001
Rare 40 year old first pressing vinyl original in old unipak style gatefold, all in clean minty condition...getting very hard to find, this copy one of the best we've seen in a long time.
In 1969 Together Records issued the now rare collectible "Preflyte", a collection of raw demo recordings from the Byrds' earliest days in 1964. Some of these recordings were later reissued on In The Beginning (Rhino R4 70244, 1988), but different takes were utilized for six of the songs, marked with an asterisk (*) below which still makes it not only essential but unique as the release that came first. The Preflyte versions of "You Showed Me" (the McGuinn/Clark composition that was later a 1969 top ten hit for the Turtles) and "She Has A Way" are arguably better than the versions used on Rhino's In The Beginning.
For an album of rough-cut demos, Preflyte is a surprisingly enjoyable listen. Although the songs here sound similar to the early Beatles, they still sound somewhat individual. McGuinn's Rickenbacker doesn't ring as loudly here as on the Byrds' proper polished records; instead, Preflyte serves as an effective showcase for the vocal talents of Gene Clark ("You Showed Me", "You Won't Have To Cry"), who wrote most of these songs, and David Crosby ("She Has A Way", "The Airport Song"). Preflyte is a remarkable glimpse of a great band in its early stages and makes for strong West Coast folkrock mid 60's grooves.
