Reunions are often a waste of time, and one of the Worst in rock and roll history was the Byrds' for Asy htm Records several years ago. Being a long time Byrd fanatic, it pains me to say it, but the record deserved to fail. Their once enthralling harmonies were flat, the music plodded along, and the songwriting was weak. The five members of The Byrds had grown too far apart to be a working unit again, and they quickly called it

quits.

About a year ago. two founding members of The Byrds, Roger McGuim and Gene Clark, started performing in coffee houses as a duo. It sounded good, so they continued, ironing out whatever problems they had by playing in front of small audiences and not trying to land a recording contract. A third ex-Byrd, Chris Hilhnan, soon joined them, and, although they were missing the voice of Ehvid Crosby, they were able to recapture the magic of the original Byrds. They signed a deal with Capitol Records' and went into the studios to try it again. Though initial reports indicated this record would be worse than their last effort together, McGuinn, Clark, .and Hillman have come up with a magnificent album. True, the trademark twelve string guitar of McGuinn’s is long gone, but the harmonies that won us over with “Mr. Tamborine Man,” “Turn Turn Turn," “My Back Pages,” and “Eight Miles High" are as sharp and clear as ever. And the songs, especially the single "Don’t You Write Her Off Like That," "Long Long Time," "Bye Bye Baby,” and "Backstage Pass” are-as inspired as rock can get—both lyrically and in performance. Only seasoned veterans who still have the need to strive fpr perfection^ could .write • songs as personal and gripping as McGuinn, _ ^lark, and Hillman have on Inr ullnmi Make'no mistake about it. Rotfctf'McGuinn, Gene . Clark, an4 Chris Hillman aren’t offering a trip down , memopy Jane. Their roots might fhow, but this is a group that has its eyes on the eighties. Welcome back, the three of yoq were certainty missed. While on the subject of, The Byrds, it might be a good idea to mention Big Stan’s "Third”’ (PVC) has finally beCn released. In the early seventies, this f group earned legendary status by Issuing two amazinfcv albums. Unfortuniftely. due to poor promotion, very few people were able to hear their Byrds—influenced sounds. This third album, though, is much more haunting and seems more like a solo album for Big Star’s leader Alex Chilton. There’s so much passion in-hi* voice, one feels the pain he’s expressing, as he sings a song such as "Holocaust.” All Big Star records should be heard, but, even though this is the hardest one to initially understand, "Third" represents their peak in creativity. Alex

Cpilton is now solo, and, hopefully, he’ll eventually get the chance to follow-up this lost masterpiece. \
