USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

DION AND THE BELMONTS FORMED IN THE BRONX, NEW YORK CITY IN 1957 AFTER IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THEY TEAM UP FOLLOWING DION Di MUCCI'S UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT AT A SOLO CAREER. THE BELMONTS WERE ALREADY ESTABLISHING THEMSELVES AS A DOO WOP GROUP. THE GROUP SIGNED WITH LAURIE RECORDS IN EARLY 1958 AND ENJOYED REASONABLE SUCCESS WITH THEIR FIRST LAURIE RELEASE, "I WONDER WHY", WHICH REACHED No. 22 ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100 CHART WHICH LED TO AN APPEARANCE ON THE NATIONALLY TELEVISED AMERICAN BANDSTAND SHOW, HOSTED BY DICK CLARK.

DION AND THE BELMONTS BECAME THE SOUND OF THE CITY. THEIR ROOTS WERE IN  DOO-WOP LIKE THE FLAMINGOS, THE FIVE SATINS AND THE DELLS, ACTS WHO DEVELOPED THEIR SOUND IN THE URBAN SETTINGS ON STREET CORNERS, MIMICKING INSTRUMENTS WITH THEIR VOICES AND EVEN JAZZ ARRANGEMENTS. THEY FOLLOWED THE HIT WITH THE BALLADS "NO ONE KNOWS" (No. 19) AND "DON'T PITY ME" (No. 40). THIS EARLY SUCCESS BROUGHT THEM THEIR FIRST MAJOR TOUR IN LATE 1958 WITH THE COASTERS, BUDDY HOLLY AND BOBBY DARIN, FOLLOWED BY THE ILL-FATED WINTER DANCE PARTY TOUR WHICH SAW THE DEATHS OF BUDDY HOLLY, BIG BOPPER AND RITCHIE VALENS IN A PLANE CRASH. DION WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO JOIN BUDDY ON THE FLIGHT, HOWEVER, HE DECIDED HE COULD NOT AFFORD THE $36.00 AIRFARE AND GAVE UP HIS SEAT TO RITCHIE VALENS. DION LATER ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS A SOLO SINGER AND HAS ENJOYED AN INCREDIBLE CAREER.

THIS 20 TRACK ALBUM IS THE AUSTRALIAN VERSION OF THE 1976 USA RELEASE ON INTERFUSION. THE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH ONLY SOME MINOR WRINKLES ALONG THE SPINE EDGE OF THE SLEEVE. OTHER THAN THAT THERE IS VERY LITTLE APPRECIABLE DAMAGE OR SOILING TO THE SLEEVE. THE RECORD IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
