  • I had to reload this song because of a few mistakes in the tracking and mixing that need to be corrected. I didn't want to leave it up like that. It sound better now and it don't bother me when I hear it. The normal person would probably not know the difference but the trained ear does. Especially when these versions are played on radio stations across the country.

    It was 1992, I was 13 years old and my Dad had just bought a double-cassette album of songs of the late 50s and 60s. The cassettes hardly ever made it to the family stereo because they were always in my walkman. I would listen to these songs over and over at night, imagining I was at a dance and a cute boy would ask me to dance. Hahaha. I was clearly born 20 years too late!

      @usmale4915 4 года назад +5

      Yes he was. He should have been a bigger star than he was. Del Shannon did have a very good voice, but I think his huge hit "Runaway" more or less over-shadowed any of his other recordings. I really like him, especially with this song and "Hats Off To Larry"! Such a talented man! Thank you for the upload!

      Usmale 49 "Hats Off To Larry" is a very great song. But I think that "Guild the Lily, Lily" shouldn't of been the B side to "Hats Off To Larry". Del probably could've had a hit song with it, but Del Shannon decided what songs were going to be released. It was also a great song since Max Crook also did great work with his Musitron.

      Remember that era very well. My high school fondest memories. My friend Ray has a 1964 Olds with reverb in the back deck. There was FM radio ( one station) but when Del Shannon worked his magic that 64 Olds became an instant chick magnet! What a beautiful time to be alive!

    Bob Babbitt on bass on this and most of Del’s hits. After his time recording with Shannon, he moved on to Motown becoming one of the legendary Funk Brothers crew then later thumping his bass lines for many other recording stars. Interesting how one of the most admired and recorded bass players in history started out backing Del Shannon.

    Kenn babe -- you did an amazing job with this. It should be THE version of the song. Del is still the center piece and not overwhelmed by the terrific enhancements you did. I knew Del as friend and he was a fantastically funny guy-- I was devastated when I go the phone call from Shirley the morning after his death. He had just sent me some tracks from what would be "Rock On" and at that time I did not see the depression but as it stands- it was his suicide note. He was just on the verge of a massive comeback-- but: that's life.

      Well lets see. Without listening to the backtrack session it sounds like I added an Epiphone 6 electric guitar on the left channel and a 6 string acoustic on the right. A wave organ in certain parts, added percussion and stereo vocals and a tambourine. I think that's it. Kenn
