(C45s)Ballad of Easy Rider/ Wasn't Born To Follow by The Byrds
Label: Columbia 44990 Year: 1969
Factory sleeve included
Condition: M- $20.00

The lovely A side, a Roger McGuinn tune, was featured in the hit movie Easy Rider starring Peter Fonda. This classic, yet rarely heard Byrds is not to be missed! The flip is a late collaboration by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, and features a surprising bit of mind-bending, psychedelic effects in the middle of an otherwise genteel folk/country rocker. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. The labels are close to pristine, but grade Near Mint to reflect a tiny bit of light ringwear on the A label (see scan) and some small, light writing ("1233" at the top and "11/69" on the lower right-center) on the B label. The vinyl is very close to Mint in appearance, and it produces amazing, pristine Mint audio... quite stunning.
