Release


Originally released in 1982, the album was a follow-up to The Original Singles: 1965-1967, Volume 1 and compiled all of the mono single versions of songs that the Byrds' had released on 7" between early 1967 and early 1969 for the first time. The tracks on the album are all laid out chronologically by release date, featuring the A-side first and then the B-side. For example, the album opens with the single version of "My Back Pages" and follows it up with "Renaissance Fair", which was the B-side.

The album was released on LP and tape cassette and has never been issued on CD. Due to the commercial failure of The Original Singles: 1965-1967, Volume 1 in the U.S., Volume 2 was only issued in Europe. Nevertheless, the track listing follows the Byrds' North American A and B side release order (singles released outside the U.S. sometimes featured different songs).

The Byrds' biographer Johnny Rogan has stated that CBS Records asked him to compile a third volume of Byrds' singles for the UK market, but as Rogan recalled, "I told them they were scraping the barrel, not least because there were not enough singles to make up a full 16-track compilation".[1]

All tracks are in mono. They were all previously released on 45 RPM singles and most of them were also released on the Byrds' LPs Younger Than Yesterday, The Notorious Byrd Brothers, Sweetheart of the Rodeo and Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde.
