I'd like to point out that the Top 40 hit "Sandy" appears on Dion's The Complete Laurie Singles set, though the database currently doesn't show this (an accidental omission I'm sure). The track runs 2:18 and marks the first time the song has been issued in mono on a U.S. CD release.]]> Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:08:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=36040&title=dion-laurie-singles#36040 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35723&title=dion-laurie-singles#35723 Author: aaronk

Agreed--the sound quality is excellent. I can say with certainty that
"Runaround Sue" and "The Wanderer" are the correct mono mixes.]]> Sun, 21 Oct 2012 01:55:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35723&title=dion-laurie-singles#35723 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35688&title=dion-laurie-singles#35688 Author: Paul Haney

I've known Ed Osborne for a long time. He's a stickler for using the correct single versions.]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2012 14:37:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35688&title=dion-laurie-singles#35688 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35676&title=dion-laurie-singles#35676 Author: Santi Paradoa

I agree with Jon on the correct 45 mixes were used for this set, plus
yes the entire set is loud (IMO). Apparently the mono mixes had that
"punch" as well back then. ]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 20:36:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35676&title=dion-laurie-singles#35676 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35675&title=dion-laurie-singles#35675 Author: jono

I like the sound on this cd, too. It is a bit loud, but it sounds like the 45's
(without the surface noise, of course!).

I think they got the correct mixes, as far as I know. I don't have much
Dion on 45, so i guess I can't be 100% certain. I think the matter of
getting the correct mixes depends a lot on the engineers and
producers. I think that since Ed Osborne is involved with this one (he is
not listed in the credits of the B.J. Thomas collection, if I recall
correctly), I have a better feeling about it being correct. Mr. Osborne
also worked on some of the Collector's Choice singles sets and did an
excellent job on those in regards to the correct mixes, I think. He must
do his homework and actually compare the tapes with the 45's. I wish
other producers would do this.

Did they get the correct mono mixes? Since we recently discovered Real
Gone goofed up majorly on the BJ Thomas collection, I was hesitant to buy
this one.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 13:47:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35672&title=dion-laurie-singles#35672 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35670&title=dion-laurie-singles#35670 Author: Paul C

IMHO the overall sound is superb. Some songs have a bit of distortion in places, but this was present on the original 45s. I also find Dion's recollections about the recording of many of his hits very interesting.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2012 09:45:43 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35670&title=dion-laurie-singles#35670 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=35594&title=dion-laurie-singles#35594 Author: Santi Paradoa

Great news indeed! I believe this would mark the CD debut of "Little Diane" and "Sandy" in their original hit mono mixes!

A number of Dion and the Belmonts mono mixes have previously only appeared on the long out-of-print Greatest Hits CD on Columbia 31942. I've always thought the sound quality on that disc has room for improvement, so I can definitely say I'm looking forward to hearing this upcoming 2-CD set.

And I'm also really liking the CD releases I've seen (and heard) so far from this new Real Gone Music label!]]> Wed, 15 Aug 2012 19:08:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=34952&title=dion-laurie-singles#34952 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=34946&title=dion-laurie-singles#34946 Author: Paul Haney

Yep, my buddy Ed Osborne is doing his usual terrific liner notes for this one. Should be a nice collection!]]> Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:49:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7004&PID=34946&title=dion-laurie-singles#34946
