Byrds to release 1971 recording

The Byrds have announced that they are to release a recording of their 1971 performance at the Royal Albert Hall. A date hasn't been set yet, but the live album, featuring the line up of Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Skip Battin and Gene Parsons, is expected to be out in June. Founder member Roger McGuinn explained: "We've carried these tapes around for 30-something years. We just never paid much attention to them. Bob Irwin [from record label Sundazed] came down, and he's a genius at discerning these things. He could look at a box, and go 'Oh, this is that, and so-and-so was there, this is wonderful'". He adds that further similar releases may be on the cards.
