- In one of the ocassional discussions of acappella, I recommended the
- Belmont's "Cigars, Acappella, Candy" and mentioned that I thought it
- had been issued on CD. The original album had a relatively low
- circulation, and is hard to find. The same appeared to be true of the
- CD. Well, it appears that it has now become a cutout, as I found it in
- the cheapo bins in the local Coconuts. Keep your eyes peeled for it.

- For those of you who might be interested, here's the key information:
-
- Artist: The Belmonts
- Title: Cigars, Acappella, Candy
- Label: Elektra
- Number: 60989-2
- Songs: 1. That's My Desire
- 2. Da Doo Ron Ron
- 3. Loving You is Sweeter Than Ever
- 4. Where or When
- 5. My Sweet Lord
- 6. Rock and Roll Lullabye
- 7. We Belong Together
- 8. Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)
- 9. Street Corner Symphony.
-
- The CD is rather short (I'd say close to 35 minutes), but most of it's
- great. The CD version of "Cigars, Acappella, Candy" has the added
- benefit of an essay by Greil Marcus on Acappella, The Belmonts, and
- this album.
