Tambourine Man is an important step in the evolution of twentieth century rock music and it deserves to be celebrated as such. Original Photograph Printed Directly from the Original Negative. Front cover has some wear and the back has turned a sepia tone as it’s aged. Lp has marks throughout but plays through fine with no skips. Lp plays with a swoosh into the leading track on first side. They also became the first American group to rival the artistic and commercial dominance of The Beatles, and the Fab Four in turn acknowledged the importance of The Byrds by incorporating the riff to The Bells of Rhymney into one of their own compositions (the George Harrison penned If I Needed Someone). Tambourine Man, play a song for me Im not sleepy and there aint no place Im going to Hey Mr. Barry Feinsteins cover shot for The Byrds 1965 album Mr. Tambourine Man, Original Mono Release, Columbia, CL-2372, VG/VG. Tambourine Man instantly established The Byrds on both sides of the Atlantic. Tambourine Man (Columbia 43271 1965) topped the charts. The forumla proved to be a big success, and Mr. The Byrds were the first recording act to popularize folk rock. After watching A Hard Day’s Night in 1964 they equipped themselves with similar instruments to The Beatles and began coupling their love of American folk music and the protest laments of Bob Dylan with a twelve-string guitar jangle and pop-dance beat. The Byrds were also massively inspired by the British Invasion bands, and The Beatles in particular.
