Falsetto styled rock & roller Del Shannon scored his first UK top twenty album chart success with Hats Off, a collection of A & B sides that includes five top ten hits. (UK:9)
"For me, Del Shannon was one of the top singer/songwriters of pop songs of his era, featuring the sounds of the 'Musitron' and his highly individual vocals."
"He was a major part of the 60s scene and will always have a place in pop history."
"Hats Off is assembled exclusively from singles material and thus has a great overall consistency in both songwriting and performance, as Shannon shows off his arresting vocal style and ability to mix rock and pop on a string of classics."
"The majority of the album offers solid early '60s pop confidently delivered in Shannon's richly emotional style."
"The song Hats Off To Larry is real music. Why don't they play this on the radio - the world would be a better place."
