THE BYRDS - YOUNGER THAN YESTERDAY (GOLD CD)

The Byrds Younger Than Yesterday on Gold CD From Audio Fidelity

First Time on CD/From the Original Mono Master Tapes

Mastered by Legendary Engineer Steve Hoffman

Four of the five original members of The Byrds appear on Younger Than Yesterday, their fourth album recorded in 1966 and released in 1967. Time has shown it to be among the most durable of the band's albums. David Crosby, Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman come into their own as songwriters and Michael Clarke continued to mature into an ever impressive drummer. The group's highly distinctive arrangements provide a solid backdrop for their exquisitely controlled vocal harmonies on tracks such as "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star," "My Back Pages," "Have You Seen Her Face," "Everybody's Been Burned" and "Renaissance Fair" among others. West Coast music at its creative peak, a masterpiece of psychedelic folk rock & roll. Ranked #124 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums.

Featuring stellar mastering by iconic engineer Steve Hoffman, Audio Fidelity's 24K + Gold edition of this Byrds masterwork bests all prior editions. The audiophile label specializes in deluxe packaging with see-through slip cases and beautifully reproduced original graphics. As always, the original master tape was played back on a specially constructed vintage tube playback deck, with the analog masters put through the new "Kensei Audio Transformer," a process that adds even more life to the music.
