It Won't Be Wrong was initially released as a single in October 1964 as "Don't Be Long" on Elektra Records under the pseudonym the Beefeaters.

The Byrds revisited the song in September 1965, recording the basic track on September 10th and overdubbing vocals during September 14-16. This recording was first released on 6 December 1965, as the second track of the Byrds' second album Turn! Turn! Turn!
It was also released as the B-side to Gene Clark's Set You Free This Time on 10 January 1966, but due to poor sales for that single, Columbia began promoting It Won't Be Wrong instead (perhaps around 18 February 1966 based on the Wiki), and it charted at #63 on Billboard.

This song is a precursor to the songs like Eight Miles High and Why, that they were leading up to as a textbook example of Raga Rock, David Crosby's Tennessean plays a droning E chord which is ambigously neither major or minor while Roger plays the 12-string riff which implies we are in the key of E minor with the D and G in the melody. Immediately after, we switch to an E major chord but follow it with chords from G major. Essentially this song flips back and forth between E major and minor and also even changes keys during the bridge.
Roger is on his Rickenbacker 360/12, David is on his Gretsch Tennessean, and Chris is presumably on his Guild Starfire IV. Gene Clark also plays an acoustic guitar on this song, although it is fairly buried in the mix. Here's a tab I wrote for the bass part: [ Ссылка ]
I'm happy to introduce my new 1963 Gretsch Tennessean in this video, although the Tennessean will sound much more accurate on Beatles recordings as the Byrds played through Fender amps. Perhaps in the future I can get a Fender Twin Reverb.
I played the guitars and bass through my Vox AC30CC2X, and I recorded everything but the acoustic with my WA-47 condenser mic. (The acoustic was with a sE Electronics 2200a II)
