The Byrds – Turn! Turn! Turn!

sounds great, another great cut by Kevin Grey and another sweet release by Sundazed. Mono a go go!

Thin sounding press IMO. Stick w the mono. Ten words

I have a pretty special copy of this. 2 one-sided test pressings from 1965, previously owned by the head of CBS UK. The reverse sides have a wonderful etched type waveform design. Very beautiful and I've never seen another anywhere online or in print. Sleeve is the regular sleeve with some neat pencil comments beside a couple of tracks. Obviously done by the boss himself.

my pressing is really ok. no noises. good dynamics. the mono original is better, but....

Variation perhaps? o XSM 112091 1C
Everything else is a perfect match, and other options are not available

When the record is sealed, how can you tell the difference between a pressing (cut) of 2006 and that of 2013?

This a god awful pressing. Bad sounding and obscene amounts of surface noise on every track. Pure garbage. And yes, it thoroughly cleaned in my Hannl RCM prior to reviewing. Avoid. There are many better pressings of this classic available.

Was this album ever released on 4-Track cartridge? I don't see one listed anywhere here.

The label is not Columbia but CBS you should edit that

Further solidified The Byrds as the premier folk-rock unit with their signature jangle guitar sound, dynamic textures, great country-esque vocal harmonies, pop oriented instrumentations & songs that ooze a certain spiritual nature. Successful accomplishment of that difficult 2nd album - initial boosters (Mr Tambouring Man) jettisoned while first stage continues to burn (Turn Turn Turn) - second stage (Fifth Dimension) about to be fired. Worth hearing among the canon of other great Byrds albums.
