Product Description:
Liner Note Author: Brian Young .
The Very Best of Del Shannon contains 30 tracks from the early to mid-'60s, including his biggest hit, "Runaway." While a number of Shannon greatest hits packages are available, this Collectables set adds a few extra cuts in true stereo and an alternate take of "Runaway." This is a quality disc lacking much of the filler that faults similar issues, making this a good first purchase for the curious. ~ Al Campbell
