This one has got to be one of my favourite cd's - and believe me, I own a lot!!! A great aspect about this particular disc is that it serves to show how brilliantly remastering can be done. Listening to these songs, it seems incredible that they were all recorded during the latter part of the 50s through the first half of the 60s. A fact, which never seizes to amaze me, given the clear and crisp sound quality these newly polished recordings have come to display. And the music itself? It's like being in heaven. Rock'n'Roll heaven, that is! Dion's fantastic voice and the exceptional backing from either the Belmonts or the Del-Satins, serve to cook up as tight groove as swinging as you'll ever get to hear. This disc is just full of classics such as 'Teeenager in Love', 'Runaround Sue', its equally as rockin'clone 'Lovers who Wonder', 'Little Diane', 'Sandy' etc. There's no doubt that you need to get your hands on this collection - it features the cream of the crop from everyone's favourite Bronx boy.... Consequently, I highly recommend it.

Dion & The Belmonts, and Dion when he went solo, were far more popular in the USA than the UK. This cd really does contain their 20 greatest hits. 6 of the songs are credited to "Dion & The Belmonts" including the original version of "Teenager In Love" (covered in the UK by Marty Wilde and Craig Douglas). The other 14 are by "Dion" starting with "Lonely Teenager" in 1960, and ending in 1968 with "Abraham, Martin and John", which Dion was the first to record, and was later recorded by Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson among others. The track sequence on this cd is unfortunately haphazard (surely it would have been just as easy, if not easier, for the record company to put the tracks in chronological order?), otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Powerful, fun and in placed quite moving, Dion and the Belmonts have aged far better than some of their contemporaries. They're far more than The Wanderer and Run Around Sue (both of which are excellent tracks), the album runs to some 20 songs, and it never gets dull.
