Six CD set. Celebrating 60 years of The 5th Dimension. First-ever box set dedicated to the legendary "champagne soul" fivesome! Bringing together all of Marilyn McCoo, Billy Davis, Jr., Florence LaRue, and the late Ron Townson and LaMonte McLemore's recordings for the Soul City, Bell, and Arista labels.

The collection includes the chart-topping 'Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In' and 'Wedding Bell Blues' plus top ten hits 'Up, Up, And Away,' 'Stoned Soul Picnic,' 'One Less Bell To Answer,' and '(Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All' as well as the psych-pop classic 'The Magic Garden'. Bonus tracks encompass non-LP singles, outtakes, the authorised debut of rare live versions, and the previously unreleased Bones Howe production of Carole King and Gerry Goffin's 'Hi-De-Ho.'
