Interesting compilation.
I've heard most of these before, but downloaded it for the two Crosby tracks, which were new to me. Everybody's Been Burned is still one of my favorite Crosby songs, and the demo is good, but the Byrds' version much better. The Airport Song, not on this recording, is also a fine song which could easily have found a place on the first album. Jack of Diamonds is. well, an early song and somewhat similar to other songs of the early 60s. I like the alternative version of It's No Use, which sounds different from the version of the first album's extended tracks. I doubt there are any other surprises in the Byrds vaults, but you never can tell. Thanks for this collection.
