1966
The group will be founded at the end of the year by saxophonist Rudy van Dijk (ex-Jazz Prophets), inspired by the blues and soul that comes over from England and America. The band name is derived from one of Van Dijk's favorite groups, The Fifth Dimension.

1967
In the first year, in which Havoc several unsuccesful singles are released, musicians come and go. At the end of 1967, however, this stabilized until the above line-up, of which Helmig van der Vegt comes from the VARA Dance Orchestra, Hans Lafaille from the Jailhouse Jazzband, and Herman Deinum and Leen Ripke previously played together in The Mozarts.

1968

The peak year for Blues Dimension. The group has switched from Havoc to Decca. The first label will soon release an LP, which relies heavily on the pile of flopped singles. Blues Dimension is the real debut, which contains a convincing mix of covers (including Get Ready by Smokey Robinson and The One And Only Man by Otis Redding) and their own repertoire. The album was recorded with renowned producer Tony Vos. Get Ready hits the Top 40 in August.

1969
Hans Lafaille is replaced by Herman van Boeyen (ex-George Cash), and bassist Jaap van Eik - one of the members from the very beginning - rejoins the band after two years of Cuby + Blizzards. Blues Dimension is slowly falling apart, but still manages to record a record, again led by Tony Vos, whose title heralds the approaching end. It is once again a very strong piece of work, including a beautiful performance of Society's Child by Janis Ian - also recorded by the English band Spooky Tooth during that period. After the end of Blues Dimension, Van der Vegt follows the inseparable rhythm duo Deinum-Lafaille to Cuby + Blizzards, Van Boeyen switches to Fullhouse and Van Dijk leaves for the Erwin Somer Group.

1966

De groep wordt aan het eind van het jaar opgericht door saxofonist Rudy van Dijk (ex-Jazz Prophets), geïnspireerd door de blues en soul die overwaait uit Engeland en Amerika. De bandnaam wordt afgeleid van een van Van Dijks favoriete groepen, The Fifth Dimension.

1967

In het eerste jaar, waarin voor Havoc enkele weinig succesvolle singles worden uitgebracht, is het een komen en gaan van muzikanten. Eind 1967 stabiliseert zich dat echter tot de bovenstaande bezetting, waarvan Helmig van der Vegt afkomstig is uit het VARA Dansorkest, Hans Lafaille uit de Jailhouse Jazzband, en Herman Deinum en Leen Ripke eerder samenspelen in The Mozarts.

1968

Het topjaar voor Blues Dimension. De groep is overgestapt van Havoc naar Decca. Het eerste label brengt nog snel een LP uit, die zwaar leunt op het stapeltje geflopte singles. Blues Dimension is het échte debuut, dat een overtuigende mix van covers (onder andere Get Ready van Smokey Robinson en The One And Only Man van Otis Redding) en eigen repertoire bevat. De plaat is opgenomen met de gerenommeerde producer Tony Vos. Get Ready haalt in augustus de Top 40.

1969

Hans Lafaille wordt vervangen door Herman van Boeyen (ex-George Cash), en bassist Jaap van Eik - een van de leden van het eerste uur - treedt na twee jaar Cuby + Blizzards weer toe tot de band. Blues Dimension valt langzaam uit elkaar, maar weet nog wel een plaat op te nemen, opnieuw onder leiding van Tony Vos, waarvan de titel het naderende einde aankondigt. Het is opnieuw een ijzersterk werkstuk, met onder meer een mooie uitvoering van Society's Child van Janis Ian - in die periode ook al opgenomen door de Engelse band Spooky Tooth. Na het einde van Blues Dimension volgt Van der Vegt het onafscheidelijke ritmeduo Deinum-Lafaille naar Cuby + Blizzards, stapt Van Boeyen over naar Fullhouse en vertrekt Van Dijk naar de Erwin Somer Group.
