Album Number One Hundred Eighty Five “(Untitled)” is the ninth album by #thebyrds and was released in September 1970 on #columbiarecords . It is a double album, with the first LP featuring live concert recordings from early 1970, and a second disc consisting of new studio recordings. The album represented the first official release of any live recordings by the band, as well as the first appearance on a Byrds' record of new recruit #skipbattin , who had replaced the band's previous bass player, #johnyork , in late 1969. My copy is a gatefold on Columbia Records - CG 30127 The studio album mostly consists of newly written, self-penned material, including a number of songs that had been composed by band leader #rogermcguinn and Broadway theatre director #jacqueslevy for a planned country rock musical that the pair were developing. The production was to have been based on #henrikibsen ‘s Peer Gynt and staged under the title of Gene Tryp (an anagram of Ibsen's play), but plans for the musical fell through. #rockandroll #folkrock #seventies #seventiesmusic #theseventies #geneparsons #clarencewhite https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBZHRXruo7/?utm_medium=tumblr
