"The Byrds' Greatest Hits" is their fifth album, and first compilation released August 7, 1967 on Columbia Records CL 2716 (Mono) and CS 9516 (Stereo) in the USA and October 20, 1967 in the United Kingdom BPG 63107 (Mono) and SBPG 63107 (Stereo). It is the top-selling album in the Byrds catalogue, reaching #6 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart in 1967 and certified a platinum-seller on November 21, 1986. In 2003, the album was ranked number 178 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
The album was first issued on CD by Columbia Records in 1985 and was later re-released in a remastered form in 1991 with alternative cover artwork. In the UK and Europe, this 1991 edition of the album was titled "Greatest Hits: 18 Classics Remastered" and included an additional seven bonus tracks taken from The Byrds' post "Younger Than Yesterday" career (a period not covered by the original album). The album was remastered at 20-bit resolution as part of the Columbia/Legacy Byrds series, reissued in an expanded form on March 30, 1999. The three bonus tracks included two of the remaining singles from this period, plus "It Won't Be Wrong." It was reissued again in the SACD format, with the same expanded track listing as on the 20-bit remaster, on January 30, 2001.
