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. He was also much admired by successive generations of musicians, including the likes of George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young.
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 61 track 2CD set contains an overview of the entirety of Shannon's career, from his hits in the early 60s, via his mid-60s recordings with Andrew Loog Oldham and Jimmy Page, to his 80s recordings with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell, and Jeff Lynne.
