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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ROCK \u0026 ROLL HALL OF FAME RECORD STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67770204913842,"sku":"jht1792574108715","price":19.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/2370\/6802\/files\/del-shannon---handy-man-the-best-of-del-shannon---vinyl-lp_1.jpg?v=1792574114","url":"https:\/\/ravelia.shop\/products\/del-shannon-handy-man-the-best-of-del-shannon-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
