The band's following single "[[Itchycoo Park]]", released on 11 August 1967, was the first of the band's two charting singles in the United States, reaching No. 16 in January 1968. The single was a bigger hit in Britain, peaking at No. 3.<ref name="bib"/> "Itchycoo Park" was the first British single to use [[flanging]], the technique of playing two identical master tapes simultaneously but altering the speed of one of them very slightly by touching the "flange" of one tape reel, which yielded a distinctive comb-filtering effect.<ref>{{cite book|author1=B.
