::  ITEM DETAILS

• Item: Original 1966 Mono LP "Fifth Dimension" by The Byrds, Columbia CL 2549.



• Markings: Deadwax, Side 1: XLP-114237 1C. Side 2: XLP-114238 1D.



• Age: 1966.



• Condition: Near mint.. The record looks unplayed (bright luster with no scratches), clean labels, and original shrink wrap on cover! Original baggie. Exceptions: The cover is black and I notice several light spots near edges and only a faint ring impression.



• Dimensions: Standard size 12 inch LP.



• Origin: Recent estate cleanout (Brown's).



• Features: This record is so pristine that I think you'll feel it's a keeper copy! And, it's in big, fat Mono! I got this as part of a collection that was stored in old 1960s 'phonograph records" boxes!



• Background: Roger McGuinn's fascination with things spacey and sci-fi characterizes the title track and the country-esque, whimsical "Mr. Spaceman". Crosby's pro-hippy musings in "What's Happening?!?!" are answered by McGuinn's snakey 12-string solos. McGuinn's guitar spits fire on the jazz-raga-rock stunner "I See You" and -famously- on the extraordinary "Eight Miles High". Co written with the departed Clark, the song is an impressionistic, psychedelic account of the culture shock the group experienced during their ill-fated UK tour in 1965. A heavy diet of Ravi Shankar and John Coltrane on the tour bus inspired McGuinn's freeform solos, grounded by Hillman's rumbling bass and Clarke's fizzing drums. Alas, the word "high" in the title saw the track banned in the US, crippling sales.
