Beau Brummels '66 is the third studio album by the American

Warner Bros. Records. The album consists of twelve cover songs and no originals. Autumn Records, the band's previous label, had sold the band to Warner Brothers in early 1966.[2]
Warner Brothers, however, did not control the publishing rights, and opted to have the band record an album of covers, including songs originally performed by
hit singles by such acts as The Mamas & the Papas and Simon & Garfunkel.[2] Lead vocalist Sal Valentino explained, "When we went to Warner Brothers, they were just anxious to get a record out, to capitalize on the success we had. That record was the wrong one to do at the time."[2]

The album features Don Irving on guitar. Irving briefly became a member of the Beau Brummels filling in for Ron Elliott,[3] who also played on the album, but was unable to withstand the rigors of touring due to his

diabetic condition.[2]
