Flashback by Fifth Dimension
Label: Bell 45,425
Year: 1973
Condition: M-
Price: $18.00
From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original Bell Records factory sleeve. This remarkable recording flopped when released in late 1973, perhaps because it's so different from the group's usual sound. And that sound is... drumroll, please... pure Northern Soul goodness in a Philly Soul wrapper. I was so taken with the rhythm section I had to have an mp3 "snippet" for our online "jukebox"... so have a listen! To make matters more interesting, it turns out that this was a non-album single available only on this 45 or a much later, large CD compilation. The B side is pretty interesting, too! Note: This beautiful copy has experienced some some storage wear that lowers the grades for all attributes (Labels, Vinyl, Audio) to Near Mint. The audio (check out the mp3 snippet) has a touch of surface noise near the beginning, but that soon disappears and you have pristine Mint sound with no distortion.
