    Alone with Dion by Dion (Record, 2015)

    $19.99

    1 item left
    INCLUDES FREE MP3 ALBUM DOWNLOAD Plus 2 BONUS TRACKS

    This quintessential LP edition includes Dion’s magnificent first solo album, Alone with Dion, originally released on the Laurie label in March 1961, and long unavailable on vinyl. This debut LP veers between portraying Dion as a sensitiveheart throb in the brilliantly sung “Lonely Teenager,” and as an all-around pop entertainer now grown up enough to sing standards in front of a big swing band, a la Bobby Darin (“North East End of the Corner”) or a string orchestra a la Johnny Mathis (“Fools Rush In”).

    In addition to the original masterpiece, this WaxTime collector’s item contains 2 bonus tracksrecorded during that same period but not included on the album (they were only released as the two sides of a single in 1961): “Kissin’ Game” and “Heaven Help Me.”

    PERSONNEL:

    DION DIMUCCI, lead vocals and guitar, plus:

    The Del-Satins: Stan Zizka, Leslie Cauchi and Bobby Failla (tenor vocals),
    Fred Ferrara (baritone vocals),

    Orchestras conducted and arranged by Glen Stuart, Stan Applebaum, and Robert Mersey
