The 5th Dimension were one of the most distinctive vocal groups of the late 1960s — their blend of pop sophistication, soul warmth, and psychedelic optimism was unlike anything else on the radio. Stoned Soul Picnic, built around Laura Nyro's extraordinary title song and her Sweet Blindness, is the album that defined their peak creative period. Producer Bones Howe's lush arrangements give the record a timeless, cinematic quality, and the group's five-part harmonies are in exceptional form throughout. This VG+ copy plays cleanly — a prime example of late-60s sunshine soul for the serious pop or vocal group collector.
