Willard's Wormholes

Bonus Tracks (1965-1971)
The Alternate Universe Treatment

Culled from the mid-90s reissue series… with enough stray Byrds to fill a Hitchcock movie. Both Sweetheart Of The Rodeo and (Untitled)/(Unissued) featured a full disc of extras. A disc-and-a-half in Sweetheart‘s case, to gather rehearsal versions of many of Gram Parsons’ lead vocals (which were wiped from the original masters when he left the band). Heads up on Part 1, as it may be a few seconds longer than a CD-R will hold. As a disclaimer, I didn’t do any additional homework on this collection to see if there were any obsolete bonuses from other editions, and didn’t bother with “rarities” from box sets, as this collection was pulled together just using the reissues we’ve had in the archives for years, from the 1965′s Mr. Tambourine Man to 1971′s Farther Along. Find more Byrds & McGuinn (HERE), Gram Parsons (HERE) and D.Crosby (HERE) in the archives.
