I ran across this interview with Byrds producer Gary Usher. He talks about the making of it. Lots of great pictures (incl. Lloyd) and also about the cover of the album. Starts at 12:20.

Thanks for sharing, Joachim. An impressive body of work. Gary was the writer of a lyric that will live in infamy:

"...my four-speed, dual-quad, positraction 409
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up 409..."

Just finished reading Chris Hillman's book on a flight to South Carolina, A must read for any Byrds/Burrito fans, very honest book and I got a signed edition!
