Best of the Bigtop Era

""Hats Off to Del Shannon" was not originally released in the United States, where Del's sales were mostly as a singles artist.Besides the top selling title track and "Runaway", this album features more Del penned tunes and fewer covers than the later albums on Amy and Liberty.While you might find yourself wondering why this guy keeps on picking stupid girls for romance, you will also find yourself remembering the catchy and well-done tunes throughout the album.This (unlike "Further Adventures" and "Total Commitment") is NOT just for hardcore Del Shannon collectors only! A great listen, and my personal favorite. (And I AM a hardcore collector!)Mike Sittnick sittnick@ntr.net"
