Fifth Dimension is the third album by the American folk rock band the Byrds and was released in July 1966 on Columbia Records (see 1966 in music). Most of the album was recorded following the February 1966 departure of the band's principal songwriter Gene Clark. In an attempt to compensate for Clark's absence, guitarists Jim McGuinn and David Crosby stepped into the breach and increased their songwriting output
Although the Byrds' Fifth Dimension was wildly uneven, its high points were as innovative as any rock music being recorded in 1966. Immaculate folk-rock was still present in their superb arrangements of the traditional songs "Wild Mountain Thyme" and "John Riley. For the originals, they devised some of the first and best psychedelic rock, often drawing from the influence of Indian raga in the guitar arrangements. These weak spots keep Fifth Dimension from attaining truly classic status.
The Byrds went through a number of changes between their second album Turn Turn Turn and their third album Fifth Dimension. The band's manager wanted to also produce the albums creating tension with producer Terry Melcher (who is also Doris Day's son) and ended up, with the band's permission, asked Columbia Records to replace Melcher. And, as I said, because it was not made with the . or UK markets in mind, the booklet will be of little interest to g music fans.
