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.

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. Por isso vai este e não vai aquele.

(*) 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.
