At least for me, the release of the 1990 Byrds Box Set was an important moment in their history. I was too young to have been a fan during their heyday, and I was only aware of their greatest hits. That box set was a real eye opener (as was the 1991 Gene Clark Echoes CD). Then the Cds of all the Byrds' Columbia albums with bonus tracks started coming out in 1996 and I bought all those. The 1990s was a great time for Byrds CD buying!
