That's similar to what happened with Crosby and "Everybody's Been Burned." In terms of style and lyrics, the song sounds like it could have been written in 1964. I see no reason why the song could have been forgotten about and unreleased for several years and then revived by Clark in 1970.

Tambourine Man” and “You Showed Me” plus more unheard World Pacific-era tracks including “She’s the Kind of Girl,” “Everybody’s Been Burned” and “I’m Just a Young Man.” (“Everybody’s Been Burned” was re-recorded for The Byrds’ Younger than Yesterday LP, and “She’s the Kind of Girl” reunited The Byrds on Roadmaster, a solo album by its writer, Gene Clark.) Thanks for pointing that out, but do you have any proof the recording dates to 1970? It was included on the official "Preflyte Plus," and the press release with that indicates it was recorded in 1964:Īccording to the label, Preflyte Plus promises to include eight “never before out bonus tracks” from the “demo reel mixed by Jim Dickson” before his death in 2011 at the age of 80.

There's one more song, another solo Clark song, that I failed to include: "I'd Feel Better." That's because I consider it such a poor song that I can't even bear to add it as a bonus track. It turns out this was a demo for a song he wrote that was intended for a female singer. No, Clark wasn't secretly bisexual or the like.
Oh, one of those Clark solo songs is rather odd if you listen to the lyrics: "All for Him." In it, Clark sings about another man he's fallen in love with. Rather than having a big bunch of Crosby songs in a row, and then another bunch of Clark's, I've tried to scatter both throughout the album, to give it more variety. Plus, there are a bunch of solo performances by Gene Clark, who was the main singer and songwriter in the Byrds at the time. Speaking of Crosby, some of the other songs are actually Crosby solo performances too. The song is written by Byrd member David Crosby, so clearly he had songwriting skills years before it has generally been realized.Īlso, the first song here is actually still unreleased, and is a Crosby solo performance dating back to 1962 or even 1961! His vocals sound great even back then. Yet this version is basically exactly the same, minus the instrumentation to flesh it out. That song wouldn't be released by the Byrds until the 1967 "Younger than Yesterday" album. Tambourine Man."īut what really fascinates me is that the song "Everybody's Been Burned" is also included here. Tambourine Man" album - "Here Without You," "I Knew I'd Want You," "You Won't Have to Cry," and "Mr. There are a few songs that would appear on the 1965 "Mr. With this album, I'm not worrying if I repeat some songs from the other 1964 album, or from later Byrds albums, because the fact that they're acoustic versions makes them sufficiently different and interesting. As you can tell from the album title, this is the acoustic album. I decided to split them into two, with the full-band versions on one album and the acoustic versions on the other. The Byrds recorded a lot of songs in 1964, before they hit it big, and before they even were calling themselves "the Byrds." These recordings have been packaged in many ways, usually with "Preflyte" in the title.
