The Byrds

In December 1965, The Byrds were on the brink of monumental success. Just a few months later, they'd release their iconic album 'Fifth Dimension,' which featured the classic 'Eight Miles High.' This unreleased RCA version of the song was captured on December 22, 1965, but was ultimately rejected by their label, Columbia, because of the studio mishap. Interestingly, 'Eight Miles High' not only showcased their signature blend of folk rock and psychedelic sounds but also pushed the boundaries of what popular music could be at the time, influencing countless musicians. The Byrds were truly evolving, marking this moment as a fascinating transition into a richer, more experimental phase that defined their career.
