The Byrds: 5th Dimension (1966)

This is some pretty early psychedelia from the Byrds. Take a look at the cover and get an idea of where this album is coming from. These guys were so ahead of everyone else. This album sounds like something from '68 or '69, but it's from '66. Some great traditional folk tunes with classic Byrds harmonies and 12-string guitars. 8 Miles High is one of the first full blown psych tunes. This album is definitely a must have.
