May 22, 2024 Record of the Day

In 1958, the Doo Wop group, the Capris, recorded “There’s a Moon Out Tonight.” It was released by a local New York City record label called Planet. Without the proper means to promote the single, copies were left on the junk pile, so to speak. However, in 1960 a copy came to the attention of a New York DJ who played it on his show and a smash was born, reaching # 3 on the charts. Most copies were sold on the Old Town record label and are worth up to $50.00. An original copy on Planet Records can sell for $1500.00 today.
