One of Bob Dylan’s great songs, “My Back Pages” is not a song which has seen a great deal of cover versions – certainly, may artists would be somewhat intimidated by it’s length and its rather convoluted, and highly personal sentiment. The Byrd’s, undoubtedly the most skilful of the legion of artists that performed Dylan songs in the 1960s, gave “My Back Pages” a rock tempo, and sung it with a sneer that even Dylan himself would have been proud of. It’s a great version and, although some verses are missing, the group capture the original’s sentiment effortlessly. It’s a captivating performance from a band that, by this time, had mastered the parameters of folk-rock.

The WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were routinely distributed among the radio stations before the LP was released to the public, sometimes as much as 4 months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals", which is to say the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 200:1.

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       SLEEVE

THE RECORD COMES IN ITS ORIGINAL COLUMBIA GREY  AND WHITE STOCK INNER SLEEVE (NOT SEPARATELY GRATED, BUT IN A VERY NICE CONDITION, OVERALL - ABOUT 7 ON A 10-POINT SCALE)
