Full Title - Laurie, Sabina & United Artists Sides Vol. 1. Hailing from the Bronx, The Belmonts took their name from the area"s Belmont Avenue. With Dion they scored such hits as "A Teenager In Love" (No 5) but this was a short relationship & after Dion went solo, they continued to gain hits with such songs as "Tell Me Why" (No 18), "Come On Little Angel" (No 28), "Don"t Get Around Much Anymore" (No 57) & the doo wop classic "I Need Someone" (No 75). This CD features 30 tracks, not only sides made for Laurie & Sabina (many previously unissued) but also, for the first time ever, their complete United Artists recordings from 1964 (spread over this & its companion CD & including two previously unreleased tracks). The music tells both the story of a group that was a very important milestone in the era of doo wop music & also the birth of New York"s white group sound. Ace. 1995.
