Younger Than Yesterday with The Byrds

"well, I was so much older then - I'm younger than that now"
via Bob Dylan

Another fantastic record from -67
showing how possible it was to make folk-rock into psychedelica, or psychedelica into folk-rock!!

Heard three other Byrds' albums, but not until this (or the next Notorious one) I reached the essence of their greatness.
