Love the original mon single version mix best, it had mote power.

Guess I like the Younger Than Yesterday version. This is a bit more chunky and seems that Michael Clarke's drumming is a bit stiffer here. Never heard it before, though, and any Byrds is GOOD Byrds. Great guitar sound and, as usual, Hillman's bass work is stunning.

@RodCow their is a box! roger mcguinn endorsed...in fact he uses it, and no longer the rickenbacker 370 12. its the jangle box. they a bit pricie but sound like the byrds to a tee.

This song was recorded at RCA studio's where the Byrds recorded that song and this was what they wanted for the original single. Unfortunately Columbia would've sue them if that song wasn't recorded at theri own studio's. This song would've been a huge hit if they had the freedom to release it as a single at RCA studio's.

There are two mixes of this particular version. This one has a little distortion, but Gene Clark's acoustic guitar is much clearer and more audible on this mix than the stereo mix that first appeared on the CD version of "Never Before". This mix appears as a bonus track on the 1996 expanded reissue of "Fifth Dimension". Why it was originally left off the album is inexplicable. The version that appeared on "Younger Than Yesterday" was actually recorded in February 1966, at Crosby's request.

Maybe true I can hear what you are talking about for sure... but the solo is Mcguinn at his best it was mainly a Crosby song I think..
