Dion DiMucci about the release of his 'lost' 1965 album "Kickin' Child"- exclusive interview*

May 12

 

Thanks, I haven't placed an order with Norton in a couple of years, so I'll grab this stuff plus a couple of other things.

 

done / ordered

 

Ordered from Norton and arrived!
I have re-sequenced the Tom Wilson productions AGAIN (it is a sickness, I tell ya ) and am currently enjoying this:

Dion & The Wanderers: Wonder Where I’m Bound [April 1966] produced by Tom Wilson
Side One [17:18]
Baby, I'm in the Mood for You (Bob Dylan) 2:40
Tomorrow Won't Bring the Rain (Dion DiMucci/Carlo Mastrangelo) 2:48
Knowing I Won't Go Back There (Dion DiMucci) 2:57
Wake Up Baby (Dion DiMucci) 3:16
Now (Dion DiMucci/Carlo Mastrangelo) 2:43
I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound (Tom Paxton) 2:54
Side Two [17:21]
Two Ton Feather (Dion DiMucci) 2:55
You Move Me Babe (Dion DiMucci) 2:25
All I Want to Do is Live My Life (Mort Shuman) 3:34
My Love (Dion DiMucci) 2:11
Time in My Heart for You (Dion DiMucci) 2:47
Farewell (Bob Dylan) 3:29

 

The single or the full release!?!?

 

And why won't the Norton site let me choose "priority shipping"? Every time I go to submit it defaults back to "media mail", and I ain't waiting 6 days for this.

 

I always close with "Farewell". Perfect ending.

There's a lot of "leaving" on this album.

 

The full release, The Zodiac!

 

HOW?!?! I THOUGHT IT WASN'T OUT YET!?!? DAMMIT!

 

Is this CD or LP? Norton tell me the LP isn't in stock yet. If the CD is in stock I'm tempted to get it right now but of course I have already placed an order with Amazon where the disc is $5 less and the shipping is free. I'll just have to be patient, I guess.

 

The Norton booth at the WFMU record fair had both the LP and the 7" for sale yesterday (didn't see the CD but also wasn't looking for it). Grabbed them both for $35!

 

I got LP and CD both pre-ordered from Norton. When will they ship? WHEN LORD WHEN???

 

CD AND LP HAVE SHIPPED!

 

CD ARRIVED TODAY. SOUNDS GREAT. MORE DETAILED ANALYSIS TO COME. VINYL STILL EN ROUTE, APPARENTLY. YO.

 

Is it just me or is this version of " Now" cleaner than the version on "Wonder Where Im Bound"? Maybe Columbia added a little reverb for that release. Sounds wonderful here. Everything does. Great to finally have "You Move Me" on CD in great sound. Even improved sonics cant help "So Much Younger", which just isnt as good a song as the others. This is a fantastic release, though. BUY THIS PRODUCT. PLEASE.

 

Gatefold! Retro Columbia-style spine!

 

I have the cd on pre-order from Amazon, it'll arrive on Friday. Calm down man.

 

Gatefold photo, please?

 

liner notes and Dion in studio shots.

 

Is the vinyl mono? AAA?

 

ok, thanks

 

stereo. Vic Anesini mastering.

 

Would rather have mono, but the '69 LP in my avatar is stereo and sounds great. Anesini does great work, but he usually masters from hi-res digital, IIRC. Just great to have this material out there, buying CD and vinyl ASAP.
