Have been looking for the CD set for a while! Finally found it in Northampton MA at a hidden gem called “Turn It Up Records!” It’s a compilation of early recordings by The Byrds and when they were known as The Jet Set from 1964. It features 2 CDs with 40 tracks, 2 postcards, and a booklet!
TOPPOP: McGuinn, Clark & Hillman - Backstage Pass
Overlooked song IMO. Completely different from The Byrds style, with its cheerfull disco tone. Harmonies are still on point though :)
Give your reasons so. Listen on YouTube if you’re not familiar.
Rare live version I can't find any info on. The inflections and timbre sound a lot more like Chris, especially compared to the other versions which are obviously Gram on lead.
Also, assuming this is 1969, who is singing the third harmony at the end? In any case, it's a very soulful version and sounds like Michael Clarke on drums.
