Dimension records concentrated almost entirely on the "girl group" sound. Reputedly, Goffin and King
used their teenage baby-sitter Eva Narcissus Boyd to sing "Loco-motion". "Loco-motion" by Little Eva
is one of the all-time great dance records. The song gave Dimension a number one hit on their first
release in the summer of 1962. Little Eva followed that up with "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby" in
the fall of 1962.
In the summer of 1962, Carole King herself recorded "It Might As Well Rain Until September" and
had a hit. The song was actually a demo, and Dimension just took the acetate and recorded it on tape
as the master. Years later, when Bob Hyde and Water DeVenne were looking for the master tape, they
came across a small box with the "master" tape, surface noise and all. For this reason, the song has
always had surface noise when reissued. Carole King went on to much greater fame in the early 1970s
when she recorded the multi-platinum album "Tapestry" on Ode Records.
There were only two albums issued on Dimension Records. The first was by Little Eva,
and the second was “DIMENSION DOLLS Vol. 1” a Superb compilation of Dimension hits
with Carole King, Little Eva and The Cookies. Dimension Records continued to issue 45s
into 1965, when Kirschner sold the label to Columbia Pictures.
THE RARITY OF THE ALBUMS:
* While the Mono Little Eva album sold well, the Stereo issue sold poorly
and was only pressed in minuscule quantities. It is VERY scarce!
* The Dimension Dolls album was only issued in Mono. It was supposed
to be Volume 1 with Volume 2 to be issued later. “Dolls” sold so poorly
that Don Kirschner decided that another “Hits” album was not warranted.
The sales of “Dolls” was an embarrassment for Kirschner and he often
claimed that the album was only pressed for Dimension employees and not
for public consumption.
