It could be that the tapes didn't provide much to work with, though I've read reviews on Amazon that suggest that the most recent redbook remasterings outperform this SACD. I haven't, however, compared it with any of the redbook versions.
Perhaps the Japanese Sony SACD version is better, but this one pretty much stinks. If you are wondering about sound quality on this disc, do not buy it. I have over 100 SACDs and many other audiophile recordings (MOFI and DCC gold discs), as well as a very high end sound system. Overall, harsh and hard to listen to at anything other than moderate volumes, and then not really engaging. The SACD quality on this is quite low, very compressed vocals, overemphasized high end and rather paltry low end. In October of 1972, the five original members of the Byrds: Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, David Crosby, Chris Hillman, and Michael Clarke reconvened to record a poorly received reunion album. MISTAKE ! The music, of course, speaks for itself, but if you are reading these reviews then it is the sound quality/SACD transfer that is at issue. Recently purchased this, based partly on the reviews here. The Byrds had a great vocal sound, and it sounds great on this sacd. I turned up the volume as I went along, like being taken back in time(if you were there!)A great sacd production of some classic 60's rock. The disc as a whole sounds very lively, a little loose in the muscianship(at the time I used to put the Byrds down as subpar players, then being a jazz snob!), at this stage the vocals were their strong point, but innovative and energetic, with the guitars, elec-12, sounding very edgy. "Turn, Turn, Turn" is in mono, noticed the difference right away.
Turn Turn Turn (To Everything There Is A Season) 5. I found them to be out front and quite clear, all harmonies quite discernible.

I differ with Whitehall's opinion that the vocals are not present enough.
I have the cd that has "Have you seen her Face", can't remember the title and the version on the sacd has much sharper sounding guitar and vocals. I think this is a fresh mix for sacd because it sounds much crisper and cleaner than I remember.

Hello, recently purchased this used on whim, but when I listened to it I was quite impressed.
