Powered by eCommercePlayer.com TITLE: "ALONE WITH DION"

ARTIST: DION (DION DiMUCCI)

After considerable success with the Belmonts in 1959, Dion DiMucci and the vocal group struggled, releasing only two Top 40 singles the following year (1960). Artistic differences, plus arguments over money and personal issues caused Dion's break with the Belmonts. In late 1960 he released ALONE WITH DION (LLP-2004), a Laurie Records album with a gatefold cover  and photos for wallet!!. 

It contains Dion's first three solo charting singles: "Lonely Teenager," #12 on Billboards's Hot 100 (also #96 in the UK), "Little Miss Blue" (#96) and "Havin' Fun" (#42).

ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING!!....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.

WE USE THE FOLLOWING SCALE FOR OUR STRICT, PLAYED (SOME TRACKS) AND/OR VISUAL GRADING OF VINYL:

Sealed : Jacket is sealed shut in shrink wrap, disc is sold ungraded or "as is". If you wish I can carefully open the film and send the vinyl separate of the cover?BUT ADVISE!

M- : A record in this condition appears absolutely unplayed and will bear no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches. We seldom use this grade.

VG++ (Excellent) : A record in this condition may have one or two visible imperfections, but these will be of a purely cosmetic nature (i.e. sleeve scuffs or other superficial marks) and will not affect play, of course, no skips, no significant noise or clicks. A VG++ record will have no scratches.

VG+ : A record in this condition will have a few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, superficial marks, and very light scratches if any. The presence of a single light scratch is enough for us to grade an otherwise markless record VG+; a VG+ record will have no more than a few such scuffs or scratches.

VG : A record in this condition will show the kinds of imperfections found on VG+ records but in slightly greater numbers. There may be a number of light scratches and other marks, but a VG record will not bear any scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. TO BE SOLD AS IS!

VG- : A record in this condition will have a number of visible imperfections; the presence of a considerable number of light scratches will force us to give a record this grade, as will the presence of even one scratch deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. TO BE SOLD AS IS!

G : A record in this condition will have pervasive imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. TO BE SOLD AS IS!
