Ballad of Easy Rider" ( Roger McGuinn, Bob Dylan) – 2:03.The album has never been re-issued on CD and is currently out of print. Nonetheless, a number of contemporary reviews also made note of the album's inaccurate and misleading title, since among the twelve tracks included, only the song " Chestnut Mare" had been a genuine hit. The album's critical reception was generally warm, with the NME describing the compilation as, "an indispensable acquisition for any student of the cream of American rock, particularly of the roots and influences". The Byrds' Greatest Hits Volume II failed to reach the UK Albums Chart, but it peaked at number 1 in the Netherlands. Most of the tracks on the album were originally released between 19, but the song " The Times They Are a-Changin'" dated from 1965, despite that era of the band's career having already been covered by the Byrds' first greatest hits album. The album gathered together many of the singles that the Byrds had issued in the UK since the release of their first compilation in 1967, and as a result, it is the first album to feature the band's recording of Bob Dylan's " Lay Lady Lay", which had been issued as a non-album single in May 1969. The album appeared following the band's successful appearance at the Lincoln Folk Festival in England on July 24, 1971, and according to band biographer Johnny Rogan may have been issued by CBS as a reaction to the band's previous studio album, Byrdmaniax, having failed to chart in the UK. It was released in the United Kingdom and Europe on October 29, 1971, by CBS Records as a follow-up to the band's first compilation album, The Byrds' Greatest Hits. The Byrds' Greatest Hits Volume II is the second greatest hits album by the American rock band the Byrds.
