A collection of Dion’s early singles from the period 1958-60 most of them backed by The Belmonts, the biggest and best known hit being A Teenager In Love. (US:29)

“Listening to this collection is like stepping back in time to my own adolescence, when life was simpler and the radio was filled with a stream of non-stop hits from a plethora of artists who, like Dion, seemed to be able to just keep pumping them out, one after another, with almost monotonous regularity.”

“I urge young people who have been sold today's music in a public relations fashion to try Dion & The Belmonts and begin to experience truly historical, legitimate music. The music industry is experiencing a flight to quality as listeners are going back in time to capture a musical artistry that is truly professional.”

“Dion's vocals always had a lot of heart and swagger. The slower tempo songs convey the beauty of the harmonies. And the rockers kick with youthful exuberance.”

“Some of the tunes here seem a little stilted and that is just a reflection of the times. But, for the most part, this is a true joy and belongs in any rock collection. Dion rocks. The proof is here.”

“You either sing along, listen to a harmonic blend that just amazes you, or you remember the era and just enjoy the doo-wop sound that was so much a part of early rock and roll.”

“Excellent quality and music. I grew up to the sounds of the 50s and 60s and this is the real stuff. I've always been a big fan of Dion and I find myself singing and moving around in the car while I'm listening to this LP. Highly recommend it for fans of this music.”

“This LP takes you back to those great days when the mixture of doo-wop harmony from Dion & The Belmonts thickened the air waves with their great style of music.”
