Del Shannon
Runaway /One Thousand Six Hundred Sixty One Seconds

Description

Del Shannon was one of the most distinctive voices of early 1960s rock and pop, best known for his soaring falsetto and the landmark 1961 hit ‘Runaway’ — a song that reached number one on both sides of the Atlantic and remains one of the most recognisable singles of the entire decade. Featuring the iconic Musitron solo, ‘Runaway’ captured a nervous, yearning energy that set Shannon apart from his contemporaries. This CD pairs that celebrated recording with ‘One Thousand Six Hundred Sixty One Seconds,’ offering a compelling snapshot of Shannon’s artistry. An essential addition for any collector of classic early rock and roll or 1960s pop history…
