A discografia dos Byrds foi postada no blog Seres da Noite em doses homeopáticas: praticamente um disco por dia, na ordem cronológica invertida (de trás para frente, por razões que se justificaram, na ocasião) e recheada de fotografias da banda. Aqui seguiremos uma formatação diferente: a ordem cronológica será normal (do primeiro ao último), as fotografias ficarão de fora, por questões de espaço e para evitar uma visualidade excessiva e os botlegs e a coletânea "The Preflyte Sessions" aparecerão separadamente, como extras.
Dispensamos a biografia da banda, porque a Wikipedia já a fornece, tanto em português quanto em inglês (no último caso, aliás, num estupendo trabalho dos editores da enciclopédia on line, que chegam ao ponto de contar em detalhes a história de cada disco do grupo). Para outras informações, há, ainda, o site oficial dos Byrds, em inglês, a sua página no MySpace e, por fim, o site do Roger McGuinn, fundador da banda, dentre outras fontes.
As fichas dos discos, à exceção dos bootlegs, foram tiradas da Wikipedia.

Skip Battin: Electric Bass, Vocals
Botlegs, em ordem de gravação:
Um bootleg de 1967 (o disco, aparentemente, é de 1988), pequeno (apenas 6 músicas), mas importante por ser um dos poucos registros em boas condições de áudio de uma apresentação da banda com a formação original, à exceção de Gene Clark, que já tinha abandonado o grupo.

Outro bootleg, de 1968, com boa qualidade de som, e uma das raras gravações ao vivo dos Byrds com Gram Parsons (guitarra e vocais) e Kevin Kelley (bateria). Há um outro bootleg com o mesmo lineup (os antes citados + Roger McGuin na guitarra e vocais e Chris Hillman no baixo e vocais), gravado em Roma (“Live In Piper Club, Rome, 5.2.68”), só que, além de apresentar um número mais reduzido de músicas, a qualidade do áudio é inferior ao de San Francisco.

(*) No verso da “capa” mais difundida do bootleg na rede (de cor avermelhada, estampada por Roger McGuinn e Skip Battin [este usando uma camiseta com o nº 44, mas que não toca no show; quem toca é John York, como dito no início]), colocada no arquivo, junto com outras capas que ilustram o bootleg, a título informativo, algumas músicas aparecem com nomes errados e autorias idem: a) “Long Black Veil” (faixa 3), que ali consta como sendo de domínio público, é de autoria de Danny Dill e Marijohn Wilkin; b) “Get Out Of My Life Woman” (faixa 6), que ali figura com o nome equivocado de “Get Outta My Life Woman”, e atribuída a McGuinn, na realidade é de Allen Toussaint; c) “Baby What You Want Me To Do” (faixa 14), que ali aparece erroneamente intitulada “Wacha Want Me To Do”, e sendo de domínio público, foi composta por Jimmy Reed; d) “Take A City Bride” (faixa 15), que ali é nomeada erradamente de “Big City Bride”, e sendo de domínio público, é uma composição de Gib Guilbeau; e) outros pequenos erros de ortografia foram devidamente corrigidos, tanto acima, no texto, como no arquivo correspondente.
Para encerrar o ciclo bootlégico dos Byrds, uma apresentação da banda na Holanda, em 1970, com a sua derradeira formação. Há um outro bootleg com o mesmo nome, mais reforçado numericamente, porém de qualidade sonora inferior ao aqui postado, além de misturar registros diferentes (contém músicas gravadas na rádio WBAI-FM, de Nova Iorque, em 1971).

Coletânea: "The Preflyte Sessions"
A "The Preflyte Sessions" é uma coleção de demos, gravadas pelos integrantes dos Byrds, em 1964, antes de formarem a banda. Originalmente lançada em 1969, a coletânea foi substancialmente robustecida e relançada em 2001 (passou para 40 canções), com várias versões para as músicas primitivas.

Vielen Dank--Wie das die 60iger Jahre zurueck bringt. Ein wunderbares Weihnacht's Geschenk.
Your Byrds lineup for the Avalon Ballroom 1968 concert is wrong. It's Roger McGuinn (guitar), Gene Parsons (drums), Clarence White (guitar) and John York (bass). Plus vocals by all four.
Thanx for the info, Rocking-Byrd.
