CTA 102 is a quasar that caused a big sensation in the1960's when it was discovered because some astronomers argued that it was a signal from an alien civilization. What a great song, the Byrds flying in outer space.
First time i listened this song, I was song. I was happy, i was excited, the music was wonderfull and had a nice swing, then i spaced away in the guitarish solo, I laughed at how awesome it was.... then all of the sudden, there was that strange scary sound, i tript my balls of. Then i almost shat myself.
good but the weakest song on the album songs more pop than most other byrds song, like a lot on Younger and nutorious it lacks the trademark richness other byrds lps, this material would have been more suitable for pisces era monkees, here come the tremeloes era trems or rubber soul era beatles.
at the end of this song was it the lead singer from ac/dc at a very young age? as he matured he sounded more like donald duck...
