Blues Dimension 1969

Formed in Zwolle, The Netherlands in 1966 by Leen Ripke, Blues Dimension was one of the first Dutch groups playing rhythm & blues with horns. The band was active until 1969, when the group's breakup was announced in the title of their last and third album B.D. Is Dead, Long Live B.D.[MOVLP1735]
The second and self-titled album Blues Dimension from 1968 was produced by Tony Vos, who was responsible for arranging and producing many Dutch pop acts. Their biggest hit was a fantastic cover of the classic Rare Earth song "Get Ready".
