@cowboy81069 Apologies, it's already posted by my good friend barrygioportmorien1, and we don't cross-post. I should have checked. Our audios sound pretty the same, anyway. Anyway, thanks again.
For fifty years I assumed that this was the "A" side of the single since it was the only side played in Cleveland and was similar to "Hushabye". I only discovered last year that "Don't Take The Stars" was the "A" side. Thanks for posting it. This mix sounds a little different than mine.
did you guys know that "Teenager in love" was supposed to be for these guys? but it was given to dion and the belmonts. both the mystics and dion and the belmonts were both on Laurie Records at the time
The Mystics were from Brooklyn and came slightly after Dion & The Belmonts from the Bronx. The story goes they were going to record a song by Doc Pomus and Mort Shulman, that was given at the last minute to Dion & The Belmonts (I don't remember which song). To make up for this, Doc Pomus and Mort Shulman wrote "Hushabye" and gave it to the Mystics the next day. Later versions of the Mystics had Jay Traynor (who went on to Jay & the Americans) and Paul Simon (very briefly) as lead singers.
It is simply not possible to seperate the following: New York and it's burroughs, Italians, and DOO WOP!!!
Wayne In Texas....Thanks "Sir B" from the "colonists..." The Mystics had a bit more polished sound...but what does I be knowin' bout stuff like that there?....teach us...oh great and mighty "Sir B"
And of course, both the Belmonts and the Mystics were with Laurie Records. Some of the songs destined for the Mystics ended up with the Belmonts, and vice-versa.
esto es lo mejor que he escuchado magnifico

Your uploads have top sound quality. Could you please post the other side, "Don't Take The Stars"? Other postings of it on Utube don't sound good.

Paul Simon! Thanks for the info. Very much a 'Belmonts' and 'Hushabye' sound.

A definite Belmont sound, nice falsetto in background, flip is Don't Take the Stars.

Hi - I only know the Belmont's version I'm afraid, but I'll listen out for the 5 Satins. And yes, "...The Stars" is a song I like a lot.
SirBasildeBrush 3 years ago
Oh, you mean the more famous 'In The Still...Of...The...Night..schwop and doooby wah... Same title, different song.

I always think it's got that same tender feeling as The Belmonts' 'In The Still Of The Night'.
