The (Fake) Byrds – 30th Anniversary Album

Der Grüne Punkt CD 154.401 (Austria)

“This album is brought to you by the Michael Clarkestate (sic) and the remaining members of The Byrds in celebration of their 30th anniversary”

Once again - some people have no shame.

More, they put the wrong band on the front cover. It’s a picture of the British band The Birds, with Ronnie Wood on the left. The picture on the back insert is the Battin-McGuinn-Parsons-White lineup from the 70s.

Don’t refrain from reading the titles, the credits and the liner notes on the artwork – it’s a lot of fun. For instance, Michael Clarke is first in line in the credits for writing “Eight Miles High”, and McGuinn is credited for the “new” songs written by McCulloch and Chapman.
