5TH DIMENSION Let The Sunshine In: Soul City & Bell Albums 1967 - 1974

Popis:

• Oslavujeme 60 rokov albumu The 5th Dimension.

• Prvý box set venovaný legendárnej „champagne soul“ päťke!

• Spája všetky nahrávky Marilyn McCoo, Billyho Davisa Jr., Florence LaRue a zosnulého Rona Townsona a LaMonteho McLemora pre vydavateľstvá Soul City, Bell a Arista.

• Plus bonusové skladby vrátane vzácneho singlu skupiny spred vydania 5th Dimension pod ich pôvodným názvom The Versatiles.

Táto sada 6 CD obsahuje novo remastrované edície všetkých desiatich albumov Soul City a Bell plus neuveriteľných 25 bonusových skladieb. Šesťnásobné kvinteto ocenené cenou Grammy prinieslo svoje bohaté vokálne harmónie do piesní, ktoré napísali Laura Nyro, Jimmy Webb, Burt Bacharach a Hal David, Ashford And Simpson, Neil Sedaka, Paul Williams a Harry Nilsson, aby vytvorili jednu z najtrvalejších hudobných tvorcov 60. a 70. rokov 20. storočia.

Kolekcia obsahuje hity „Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In“ a „Wedding Bell Blues“, ktoré sa umiestnili na vrchole hitparád, plus hity z prvej desiatky „Up, Up, And Away“, „Stoned Soul Picnic“, „One Less Bell To Answer“ a „(Last Night) I Didn’t Get To Sleep At All“, ako aj psycho-popovú klasiku „The Magic Garden“.

Bonusové skladby zahŕňajú single, ktoré nie sú na LP, outtakes, autorizovaný debut vzácnych živých verzií a doteraz nevydanú produkciu skladby „Hi-De-Ho“ od Carole King a Gerryho Goffina v podaní Bones Howe.

Nick Robbins remastroval audio. Poznámky na obale od Joea Marcheseho poskytujú ústnu históriu skupiny založenú na okrúhlom stole s McCoo, Davis a LaRue z roku 2025; nové rozhovory s Bones Howe a producentom Johnom Florezom; a archívne citáty od McLemora, Townsona, Webba a ďalších. Luxusný booklet sa môže pochváliť aj vzácnymi fotografiami.
