This month a quartet by The Byrds. "Have you seen her face" was not a hit and it was one of those typical bargain bin singles. The "Younger than yesterday" album has remained one of my all time favourites apart from the dreadful "Mind gardens", but this Chris Hillman track was no doubt one of the highlights. Un-Byrds like guitar work, no Rickenbacker 12-string here. Although McGuinn played the guitar solo live on a 6-string Gretsch Country Gentleman it could well be that it's actually Clarence White playing. He is mentioned on the back of the "Younger than yesterday" sleeve, no doubt because of his work on "Time between". For years the flipside was a bit of a rarity as this song wasn't on any Byrds album, but "Don't make waves" isn't a very good song. The film version is even worse, but that's quite another story.
