This quintessential edition presents Del Shannon’s first album, the sensational debut Runaway with Del Shannon, originally released in the U.S. by the Big Top label in 1961. Featuring a number of formidable songs that stand the test of time – most of which he wrote or co-wrote this album offers solid early-1960s rock & roll/pop confidently delivered in Shannon’s richly emotional and rousing personal style.

In addition to the original masterpiece, our special release contains 4 bonus tracks from the same period. Without a doubt, this is the material upon which Del Shannon’s legend was built.
