I can't say this is my favorite Byrds album, but the article seems well written and informative. Such facts as I recall seem accurate.

In my opinion, the article is definitely worth keeping. This was if I remember correctly their fifth album, and the last that had any semblance of the original band members. The following albums e.g. Sweet Heart of the Rodeo, etc. had only McGuinn left from the original 5 Byrds. Really an entirely different ensemble.

[edit] Historical background

Some very interesting historical detail has been lost in the last of the current series of reversions. Please would User:PetSounds restore them with inline sources for each assertion.Theo (Talk) 00:40, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


I tried finding how to do inline sourcing, but couldn't locate it. Would you be able to give me the page? Thanks PetSounds 18:38, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Inline sources can be added using Template:Inote or something similar. The syntax is: {{Inote|Text of note|Label}}. For example: {{Inote|Jones (2004)|Jones2004}} where one of the references is "Jones, Alfred. 'The perfect inline note', Inline notation in Wikipedia (2004)". —Theo (Talk) 23:45, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Tribal Gathering

Does anyone know anything about the history of the selection 'Tribal Gathering' from this album? It's written in 5/4 time, which is a very unusual signature. Brubeck's famous 'Take Five' recording from the 'Time Out' LP from 1958 is no doubt the most famous example of music in this signature. The credits on the CD release are Crosby and Hillman.
