The Byrds
Another Dimension

1966: Now heavily influenced by the earth-shaking creations of two master musicians — John Coltrane and Ravi Shankar — the Byrds began recording their new single, “Eight Miles High” and “Why,” along with tracks for their upcoming album Fifth Dimension. A creative zenith in the Byrds’ career, these fascinating sessions deserve closer scrutiny. We’ve assembled alternate instrumental takes and extended experimental workouts, lending essential insight into the song’s final versions. Also included are early versions of songs before the addition of any studio “sweetening” — strings, percussion or sound effects. To top things off, we’ve included a gorgeous gatefold sleeve, a transcription of the Byrd’s 1966 NYC press conference, unseen photos and other unique finds that provide a “fly-on-the-wall” glimpse into the creation of one of the most important records of our time.
