The Byrds The Notorious Byrd Brothers on Limited-Edition Hybrid SACD from Mobile Fidelity  

Mastered From the Original Analog Master Tapes for Incredible Sound

Includes Six Stereo Bonus Tracks

The Notorious Byrd Brothers was originally released on January 3, 1968, and remains the Byrds' most interesting album, the songs among the best in the band's catalog. Although the group was in turmoil at this point, the album that emerged was cohesive, consistently challenging, and thematically unified.

Mobile Fidelity has done an amazing job with the mastering from the original analog mono master tape. This edition also includes 6 bonus tracks in stereo, of which David Crosby’s "Triad" is a standout; one of the reasons Crosby left the band is because of its omission from the original record. Ten minutes of hidden studio chatter at the end also proves illuminating, the Byrds' fierce battling in the studio a mirror into to their serious problems.

While not filled with hits, this set marks the last time any Byrds album captured the magical alchemy of the band's trademark guitar jangle and emotionally evocative harmonies. Now, experience it all like never before.
