The Notorious Byrd Brothers
The Notorious Byrd Brothers is the fifth album by the American rock band the Byrds, and was released in January 1968, on Columbia Records. The album represents the pinnacle of the Byrds' late-60's musical experimentation, with the band blending together elements of psychedelia, folk rock, country, electronic music, baroque pop, and jazz. With producer Gary Usher, they made extensive use of a number of studio effects and production techniques, including phasing, flanging, and spatial panning. The Byrds also
original band member Gene Clark, who had left the group in early 1966, rejoined for three weeks during the making of the album, before leaving again.

"The Notorious Byrd Brothers" reached number 47 on the "Billboard" Top LPs chart and number 12 on the UK Album Chart. A cover of the
