The Byrds on Blu-spec mini-LP CD: Update

A little update on the Blu-spec mini-LP CD reissues of
the Byrds albums I wrote about here.

It appears the release date has been delayed to May 30 from the original May 2.

And now tracklisting of the albums are available at Sony Music's website.




Also, on the same day Sony will release
The Original Singles As & Bs 1965-1971
2-CD/Blu-spec CD (but not mini-LP style, it seems)



According to the advertisement, the concept of this compilation is to offer all the singles
"in the versions as the fans heard them on the radio back then."

So, unlike previously available compilations that mainly used stereo album versions,
this compiles exact versions issued as the singles.

The set will also include the songs that were planned to be but not actually issued as singles,
as well as some alternate versions.

Exact tracklisting is not available as of this writing.
