I started collecting 45's when i was nine (1957). Got a lot of them in old Yorkville, Toronto. Three for 10 cents and sometimes 5 cents. I have original Buddy Holly, early Danny and the Jrs. Avalons, Roomates, Del Vikings and the list goes on. (approx. 3,000). There is nothing like the fifties and early sixties. Keep up the great postings.
I wonder which Avalons record you're talking about.. There is a group from Virginia called The Avalons who recorded their original version of "My Heart's Desire" in Canada, and it was released on a tiny little label up there. I think Toronto was where it was put out.
Hi Cathylemons My Dad actually grew up with anthony back in the day on the lower eastside. Did you ?Anthony was an incredible person. I only knew him when I was a kid. Greatest voice effortless!!!!!!!!
This is a 70's doo wop record. I only collect original 45s. Bootlegs aren't consistent.. Sometimes they sound great and sometimes terrible. There's a mystique that goes along with owning an original piece of vinyl. I do have some 2nd pressings.. 2nd pressings are different than boots. 2nd pressings were legit copies made usually when the record was still out, just there may be something different about the label or wax. 85% of my collection is original 1rst pressings.
Yeah.. I think it's a great version but it's a completely different animal than the Heartbeats or Zircons versions. If you give it a few spins it'll grow on you.
Really Nice!!!!

I had no idea any Blue Stars stuff was online. Thanks for the treat. I haven't heard Anthony sing for a very long time.

I believe Jack Scandura (rip) was in this group. No doubt that this was a nice version regardless which group may have done the better job.

Very nice rendition, although Kenny Vance`s Planotones, Vito and Salutations and Original Heartbeats are all better.

Agree absolutely that nothing can compare with the Heartbeats' staggering original, but this is a strong, confident version. Thanks very much.

It will never top Shep's rendition.

I don't think anything could. Although I do love the Blue Stars performance, Shep's is a masterpiece.

It's a reedition (or reissue)? This record seem to be brand new just out of the press in 2008!
