The Byrds
The original 1979 release of "The Byrds Play Dylan" was not, in fact, the first compilation of the Byrds' Dylan covers to have been issued; an earlier, eleven track compilation had appeared in Japan in 1970 under the title "The Byrds Sing Dylan". Yet another compilation of the Byrds' interpretations of Dylan's material was released in the UK and Europe as "The Byrds Play the Songs of Bob Dylan" in 2001.
