Formed by Beverly Hills eighth-graders in 1962, the New Dimensions issued three instrumental surf LPs shortly afterward for the small budget label Sutton. Like most such groups, they'd be totally forgotten by all but the most dedicated surf music collectors if not for the presence of New Dimensions mainstays Jimmy Greenspoon (later keyboardist for <a href="spotify:artist:4FAEZeJcsYYBkNq2D3KGTV">Three Dog Night</a>) and Michael Lloyd (later in <a href="spotify:artist:2z4eiJkDaXYCR9kv2UuSgz">the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band</a>, and still later producer of records by <a href="spotify:artist:5fU6lODhpw3GEGGJuaDprR">the Osmonds</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6XJ5IHDtW2OkjtwVllkANt">Shaun Cassidy</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2MyNAoQL07EABerr6yhoT4">Leif Garrett</a>). The New Dimensions cut sides very much in the style of <a href="spotify:artist:4x6kNCpQ9veqQ17vllEJUR">the Chantays</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6Ycrt8OjGSSFihsb0446eg">Dick Dale</a>, but never made a commercial impression, in part because they only issued LPs, without putting any singles on the market. After evolving into the Alley Kats and cutting a few singles, Lloyd and Greenspoon took separate musical paths, with 22 tracks from their early group eventually finding their way onto the CD compilation The Best of the New Dimensions. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
