Del Shannon was, without doubt, one of the most gifted and distinctive of musical talents to emerge in the immediate pre-'British Invasion' era of American Pop. His was a talent that travelled well - indeed, his UK and European fanbase proved far more loyal and his success in those territories of greater longevity than in his native USA. His songs, more often than not, essayed a bleak world of doomed romance, lovelorn disenchantment and existential gloom. Paradoxically, of course, those themes were frequently juxtaposed to surprisingly upbeat and bright-sounding melodies. This sixteen-track LP features all of Del's UK hits, eight of which reached the Top Ten, including the #1 hit \"Runaway\", \"Hey! Little Girl\" and \"The Swiss Maid\" (both #2 hits), and \"Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)\", which reached #3. Also included are Del's recordings of two Lennon\/McCartney songs (\"From Me To You\" and \"A World Without Love\"). Del was the first US act to record a Beatles cover version. The inner sleeve features extensive annotation by Alan Robinson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel: Demon Records\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 5014797907805\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: November 11, 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hats Off To Larry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e So Long Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hey!
