This album is great it is quintesencial del from slow hard hitting ballads to just all round toe tapping tunes
I cannot recommend this enough or any del music for that matter
he is just GREAT

If you liked Del's final album ("Rock On") which gave a taste of what he might have sounded like in the context of The Traveling Wilburys, here's more of that great flavor.

Produced by Tom Petty and backed by The Heartbreakers, Del does what he does best, rocking with authority ("Sucker for Your Love," "Cheap Love," etc.) and singing heartbreaking ballads such as his great remake of Don Everly's composition "Maybe Tomorrow." His remake of "Sea of Love," which briefly charted, is here and some of Del's best originals in years.

Excellent fidelity matches production that reveals it's top flight Petty-gree. Well worth the many years I have waited for this on aluminum!

Im not gonna say much, but this album is great. Del Shannon had a wonderful voice. My favorite is Out of Time. Even though there all good. I think anyone would be pleased if they bought this album.

This is a fine example of a idea that makes sense -- combine Del's vocal and unique songwriting talent -- with production and backing by Petty and the Heartbreakers (at the top of their form). The surprising thing is that the idea works! Del sounds fabulous, his songwriting is superb, and Petty and crew are clearly having a great time backing this legend. You will not be disappointed by this one -- just get ready to hear Del and the Heartbreakers!

this del shannon album has some great cover arrangements of "sea of love" and "out of time", but his own songwriting on "liar", "midnight train", "cheap love" and others are great undiscovered songs. i would highly recomend this album!!! you will not be disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!

This CD is a real revelation -- a chance for those not familiar with this iconic artist. Produced by Tom Petty, backed by The Heartbreakers, Shannon's CD gives one a hint of why the likes of Harrison, Dylan, Lynne and Petty had no qualms about his being a likely addition to The Traveling Wilburys after Roy Orbison's death.

Originally released in 1981 on vinyl. First new album since 1968. I had to lunge between two ladies to grab the vinyl one when I seen it in 1981. Great music all the way through. Del's daughter Kym sings on "Sea of Love" and "Maybe tomorrow". The last two tracks weren't on the vinyl lp. Del Shannon sounds great anytime. One of his best. If you enjoy this get the "ROCK ON" cd. It's great too.
