Scarce Japanese First Pressing In Beautiful Condition! Heavy Grade Cover Includes Insert With Lyrics In English & Japanese. The Second Byrds Album Features Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Chris Hillman, Michael Clarke & Gene Clark.
Crosby Was Fired Mid-Way Through The Creation Of The LP, Due To His Radical Opinions & Unreliability At The Time. (The Band Denied That The Front Cover Was Intended To Show Crosby Replaced By A Horse!) However, The Album Is Very Cohesive, Ethereal & Progressive, Praised As One Of Their Finest Works!
*Issued in U.S. in 1968, ‘The Notorious Byrd Brothers’ LP wasn’t released in Japan until 1970.
Condition – Vinyl: NEAR MINT! Appears to have hardly ever been played!!
Condition – Cover: EXCELLENT! So well preserved for over 54 years!
Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Near Mint original Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

The Byrds continued to expand the parameters of their eclecticism while retaining their hallmark guitar jangle and harmonies The recording sessions for the Byrds' fifth album, The Notorious Byrd Brothers, were conducted in the midst of internal turmoil that found them reduced to a duo by the time the record was completed. That wasn't evident from listening to the results, which showed the group continuing to expand the parameters of their eclecticism while retaining their hallmark guitar jangle and harmonies. With assistance from producer Gary Usher, they took more chances in the studio, enhancing the spacy quality of tracks like "Natural Harmony" and Goffin & King's "Wasn't Born to Follow" with electronic phasing. Washes of Moog synthesizer formed the eerie backdrop for "Space Odyssey," and the songs were craftily and unobtrusively linked with segues and fades. But the Byrds did not bury the essential strengths of their tunes in effects: "Goin' Back" (also written by Goffin & King) was a magnificent and melodic cover with the expected tasteful 12-string guitar runs that should have been a big hit. "Tribal Gathering" has some of the band's most effervescent harmonies; "Draft Morning" is a subtle and effective reflection of the horrors of the Vietnam War; and "Old John Robertson" looks forward to the country-rock that would soon dominate their repertoire.
