I guess you took this right from the original 45? Seems to sound better than the reissue. Too bad it wasn't played at the time to become a hit. I agree it's the best,
I love the Belmonts and Dion in all their combinations, but this arrangement is so close to That's My Desire that it comes across as an almost desperate attempt to sound like Dion hadn't left the group. Do you have a recording date for this song?
Good ol Ritchie Valens

Great take! Would be better (in my opinion) if the falsetto were mixed a little farther back. But still nice!

All of Dion & The Belmonts songs were beautifully sung.

I used to have this 45 RPM. Such a Long Way was on the other side. It was the Belmonts' first release after Dion left.

The Belmonts version of this song is the very best. Classic NY slow doo wop.. Great stuff.
