The Byrds - Discography
Although they only attained the huge success of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys for a short time in the mid-'60s, time has judged the Byrds to be nearly as influential as those groups in the long run. They were not solely responsible for devising folk-rock, but they were certainly more responsible than any other single act (Dylan included) for melding the innovations and energy of the British Invasion with the best lyrical and musical elements of contemporary folk music. The jangling, 12-string guitar sound of leader Roger McGuinn's Rickenbacker was permanently absorbed into the vocabulary of rock. They also played a vital role in pioneering psychedelic rock and country-rock, the unifying element being their angelic harmonies and restless eclecticism.
Often described in their early days as a hybrid of Dylan and the Beatles, the Byrds in turn influenced Dylan and the Beatles almost as much as Bob and the Fab Four had influenced the Byrds. The Byrds' innovations have echoed nearly as strongly through subsequent generations, in the work of Tom Petty, R.E.M., and innumerable alternative bands of the post-punk era that feature those jangling guitars and dense harmonies.

Are these albums all remastered? I’d like to know, please.
Hello Franco,
They are all from my LP and CD collection here at home.
However, what difference is there with remastered albums as I do not know.
Thanks

Thanks for the Great Byrds share, a number of these I have not seen before.Great work
Doug Parkinson was such a good artist, I wonder why it was deleted. Also, is it possible for you to include names such as Gilbert Becaud - Yves Montand - Jean Francois Michael - Sacha Distel. Thank you for your wonderful work.
Thank you DrGentleme.
No I do not have any of those artists to share.
I only share what I have purchased over several years.

Could you please consider doing WANDA JACKSON, thank you?
Yes Hitparade I will do one day after I have completed fixing some problems.
I do have a lot of Wanda albums, so it takes awhile to prepare before uploading and sharing.
Ozzie,
Wanda Jackson's biggest single hits were "Right Or Wrong" (9-1961) and "In The Middle Of A Heartache" (6-1962). I like several of her later albums most: 1984 "Rockabilly Fever" (containing "Breathless", "Sweet Nothin's, "It's Only Make Believe" (only female version that I know of) and "Oh Boy"); 2006 "I Remember Elvis"); 2022 "The Party Ain't Over" (containing "Rip It Up", "Busted", "Andrews Sisters' "Rum And Coca Cola"); 2012 "Unfinished Business" and her final studio album 2021 "Encore" (with 2 songs with Joan Jett) which I just discovered discovered and purchased yesterday :-)
Thanks for all the music, I love and appreciate all your enthusiasm and hard work :-) Hitparade (I love The Hit Parade charts)

I am preparing all of the albums that I have here. Getting them ready to share.
Thanks for your kind message.
