His was a talent that travelled well - indeed, his UK and European fanbase proved far more loyal and his success in those territories of greater longevity than in his native USA. Moreover, he was also much admired by successive generations of musicians, including the likes of George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young. His songs, more often than not, essayed a bleak world of doomed romance, lovelorn disenchantment and existential gloom. Paradoxically, of course, those themes were frequently juxtaposed to surprisingly upbeat and bright-sounding melodies. This sixteen-track LP features all of Del's UK hits, eight of which reached the Top Ten, including the #1 hit \"Runaway\", \"Hey! Little Girl\" and \"The Swiss Maid\" (both #2 hits), and \"Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)\", which reached #3. Also included are Del's recordings of two Lennon\/McCartney songs (\"From Me To You\" and \"A World Without Love\"). Del was the first US act to record a Beatles cover version. The inner sleeve features extensive annotation by Alan Robinson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHats Off To Larry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Long Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey!
