From the liner notes:
Early in 1967, CBS released the original version of this album under the title "Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers." Perhaps it was ahead of its time. Gene Clark and his producer and friend Jim Dickson weren't happy with it either. When they learned that CBS planned to re-release the album (feeling that perhaps now its time had come), they decided that all of the original eight-track recordings should be re-mixed and at least some vocals re-recorded.
After a week in CBS L.A. studios, where it all began almost six years before, they emerged with an enormously improved, almost totally different album. Nearly all of the vocals were re-recorded, tracks were brightened, parts buried in the original mix were brought up (in some cases completely changing the sound of the cuts), and in re-sequencing the order of the sides they even removed one song, Elevator Operator, because with five years' perspective they felt strongly that the song did not measure up the others.'

In 1972, Gene and Jim Dickson revisited the "Gene Clark with The Gosdin Brothers" album. They remixed the album's tracks and Gene put new vocals to them. In this version of "Echoes", the dorky 'hipster' voice of the original (no offense to anyone who liked it, but I didn't) is stripped off and an honest to goodness Gene from the heart rendering is put in its place.
note; i can't find this LP yet the original Gene Clark - Gene Clark With The Gosdin Brothers -1967 is here. it does contain "Echoes" yet the different or previous vocal from '67.
