New Yorkers Dion & The Belmonts were arguably the finest white Doo-wop group of all.
Sides like 'I Wonder Why', 'No One Knows', 'Don't Pity Me', 'Teenager In Love' and particularly 'Where Or When' are acknowledged as genre classics.
This compilation features everything they recorded together between 1957-1960 (nine singles, two LPs and various studio outtakes), plus Dion's first solo single and a rare 45 he recorded in 1957 with The Timberlanes, prior to forming The Belmonts. Several of these sides are collector's rarities, which are hard to find on CD.
