The Best of The Byrds: Greatest Hits, Volume II is the third greatest hits album by the American rock band the Byrds, but only the second to be released in the United States, since the earlier The Byrds' Greatest Hits Volume II had only been issued in the UK.[1][2][3] The album was released in the U.S. by Columbia Records on November 10, 1972 (see 1972 in music) in lieu of any new Byrds' product during that year.[1] It spent a total of thirteen weeks on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart and peaked at number 114.[2][4]
