There Is A Season

There Is a Season is a four-CD box set by the American rock band The Byrds that was released on September 26, 2006 by Columbia/Legacy. It comprises 99 tracks and includes material from every one of the band's twelve studio albums, presented in roughly chronological order. In addition to the four CDs, the set also includes a bonus DVD featuring ten clips of The Byrds lip-synching their hits on television programs between 1965 and 1967. Upon release, the box set failed to reach the Billboard 200 chart or the UK Albums Chart. There Is a Season supplants the band's earlier box set, The Byrds, which was released in October 1990.

Unlike its predecessor, There Is a Season includes material pre-dating the band's 1965 debut single for Columbia Records "Mr. Tambourine Man". This pre-fame period in the group's history is represented by a number of demo recordings from the band's 1964 rehearsals at World Pacific Studios in Los Angeles (when they were known as The Jet Set), and both sides of a 1964 single released by the group under the pseudonym The Beefeaters. The set also includes selections from the band's 1973 reunion album Byrds and two 1973 recordings from the Banjoman film—a period also not covered by the first box set. There Is a Season also includes more songs written by founding member Gene Clark, as a response to criticism that the first box set had neglected to properly represent his contributions to the band.
