Condition: M-

This incredible, rare 4-song EP not only has a gorgeous psychedelic picture sleeve, but also 4 of the group's best, less-played nuggets--two of which are among the four Byrds tracks on Dave Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest singles ever made! The first song was previously unreleased and is itself a Byrds classic of the first order. It appeared on an LP about the same time as this promo EP, entitled "Untitled/Unissued". The four songs are:
- Lover of the Bayou (McGuinn-Levy)
- So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star (McGuinn-Hillman)
- Goin' Back (G. Goffin-C. King)
- Chimes of Freedom (B. Dylan)
The record was issued for Scholastic Book Services in conjunction with a book about the Byrds issued by Scholastic Books. Note that the EP label has a custom imprint of the Byrds "logo". A very cool collectable indeed!
