Tell Me Why/ Smoke From Your Cigarette

Here's a beautiful copy of the single that was the Belmonts' first--and biggest--hit after they and Dion went separate ways. It's a remake of a 1958 hit by Norman Fox & The Rob Roys. The recording was earlier released on Surprise 1000. 45 Nerd Alert: This pressing of Sabrina 500 uses a sans-serif font for the label name. At least one other variant exists that uses a serif font. Note: This copy's labels are nearly flawless, grading Mint. The vinyl grades Near Mint, reflecting light signs of storage and use. The vinyl has very light surface noise, which is audible during the brief intro but fades to virtually nothing after that, which is why I'm grading the audio Near Mint overall.
