The Box Tops - Dimensions (1969)







The Box Tops final album. If you don't know who The Box Tops were, they're most famous for their hit songs "The Letter" and "Cry Like A Baby" (neither of those are on this album, though there's a great reimagining of "The Letter" on Mike And Dean Reimagine Rock N Roll City ). The Box Tops are also now well known for being Alex Chilton of Big Star fame's first band.

This album was the final album by The Box Tops, and their first without songwriter/producer David Penn. Alex Chilton has 3 original compositions on this album and for the most part the rest are covers. A great collection of the soul-pop that's come to be expected by The Box Tops, and a fitting end to a short, but great career.

Tracklist:
1. Soul Deep
2. I Shall Be Released
3. Midnight Angel
4. Together
5. I'll Hold Out My Hand
6. I Must Be The Devil
7. Sweet Cream Ladies
8. (The) Happy Song
9. Ain't No Way
10. Rock Me Baby
