Never Before (album)
''Never Before'' is a compilation album by the American rock band The Byrds, consisting of previously unreleased outtakes, alternate versions, and rarities. It was initially released by Re-Flyte Records in December 1987 and was subsequently reissued on CD in 1989, with an additional seven bonus tracks. ''Never Before'' consists of material recorded between 1965 and 1967 by the original line-up of The Byrds, featuring Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, David Crosby, Chris Hillman, and Michael Clarke (although Gene Clark had left the group by early 1966).〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=ByrdWatcher: A Field Guide to the Byrds of Los Angeles )〕 The songs on the album were all originally recorded for Columbia Records during the sessions for The Byrds' first five studio albums: ''Mr. Tambourine Man'', ''Turn! Turn! Turn!'', ''Fifth Dimension'', ''Younger Than Yesterday'', and ''The Notorious Byrd Brothers''.〔〔 The album represented the first time that previously unreleased outtakes from The Byrds' tenure with Columbia Records had been officially released.
==Conception and production==
The album's genesis can be traced back to the early 1980s, when folk singer and friend of Gene Clark, Tom Slocum, stumbled across a cache of forgotten Byrds' recordings in the tape library at Wally Heider Studios in Los Angeles. According to Slocum, these tapes included early versions of "Eight Miles High" and "Why" that had been recorded at RCA Studios in late 1965, along with the outtakes "Triad" and "The Day Walk (Never Before)".〔 Slocum immediately notified The Byrds' former manager, Jim Dickson, of his discovery and before long, Dickson had involved Bob Hyde of Murray Hill Records, with an eye to producing an archival compilation album.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Both Sides Now Publications' Home Page )〕
Although The Byrds had disbanded in 1973, Hyde felt sure that there was a market for a collection like ''Never Before'', due to the renewed interest in the band that had been generated by their influence on the likes of R.E.M., The Smiths, and The Bangles during the 1980s.〔 Hyde retained Dickson's help in the project as a way of ensuring that the album would have the blessing of the ex-members of The Byrds and, in some cases, their active participation in enhancing the material.〔 Following the initial discovery at Wally Heider Studios, a thorough search of the Columbia Records' tape vaults ensued and additional unreleased material dating from the mid-1960s was unearthed.〔 Dickson and Hyde then set about compiling a ten track running order comprising the best of the available tapes.〔 Dickson also elected to remix the chosen songs with the help of Lawrence Wendelken, in an attempt to improve the fidelity of the recordings.〔〔
Two of Crosby's compositions on the album benefitted from the addition of newly recorded overdubs, performed by ex-members of The Byrds in an attempt to further polish the material.〔 "It Happens Each Day", an outtake from the ''Younger Than Yesterday'' sessions, had been abandoned in an incomplete state during the 1960s and as a result, it required further instrumental embellishment to prepare it for release.〔 The new enhancements to "It Happens Each Day" included a striking acoustic guitar solo, played by The Byrds' bassist, Chris Hillman. Crosby's controversial ode to a potential ménage à trois, "Triad", also required additional work after a problem with the lead vocal track was discovered.〔 The problem was solved by having Crosby re-sing one line but according to Dickson, the substitution was so precise that it is virtually undetectable.〔
