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!

This is my favorite Del Shannon song, He was a genius.

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.

Yep...The enhanced version sounds great !!! Who is still listening to this song in 2020 ? Most likely who will probably be still listening in 2021? Because Del Shannon's music is timeless !!!

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! God bless you Del.and all my fellow baby boomers!

Fantastic song writer, and singer, boy did he know how to hit those high notes!! So sad how he took he's own Life, but he will live on forever in the hearts of us that love his timeless songs, that helped us through our own relationships, therefore relating to those wonderful love story beat ballad songs, as if they were written for us.god bless you Del Shannon.RIP.🌹

I had this album on 8 track back in the day. Played it to death! RIP DEL! You helped music and life go through the times my friend.

And those of us in our 70's and 80's, understand how the malt shop, and the drive Inn Movie Theater was so important back in the 50's and 60's! And the music was just the greatest on our AM Radio back in the day!

RIP Mr Shannon. I wish I could have seen you in concert!!!!!!!! Thanks very much to the kind folks for sharing this song with us!!!!!!

I've heard the song a lot of times, but this version is my song of the month.

An extremely talented musician who left us waaaaay to soon. Depression is a serious problem. Unfortunately for Del he paid the ultimate price. This song has always been my favorite. He will continue to be missed by many.Myself included.

Takes me back to my youth, sorry Del left us, still play his songs often.

This song takes me all the way back to 4th grade.. a place I still haven't left yet.

I really love this 1963 hit....😊❤

It's 1962 release

Ya know, this song should be considered as the "Flagship Hit" for Del Shannon. It's the one song that can be played over and over again. Rock On.

Wow does this enhanced version sound great !!!!!! Love the drumming enhancement.

Del would be proud! That background should've been from 1962 as well as a second version! That absolutely was awesome!

Back when a town was small enough for a town flirt to reign and capture all the boys fantasies

Love the added drum fills/rolls... well done !!!

Thanks Kenn for bringing new life into some classic Del Shannon. Boy what a difference in tonal quality.

A great dance song. Memories from the 60's.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time and the enhancement is out of this world. Listening to others, it doesn't even sound like the same song. Beautifully done. I am quite certain that at least half of the views on this video are mine. Thanks so very much.

Awesome job and an awesome song. Del Shannon had a lot of talent and a great voice.

Still magic! Sends me amazing vibes....EVER!

This is really great! I thank you so much for posting this.

Kenn : my thanks to you one more time for all the great work you've done. As a guy who grew up in this era, I say from my heart : Thank-you. ------------------------Wolfsky9, 74 y/o

The song little towy flirt and it is a awesome and excellent song. It is a amazing and wonderful song and deserve to be a classic and beautiful song. I have added it to my playlist.

Backing vocals are really nice in this version. Thanks. I've got the LP of Del's Greatest Hits. A lot of good songs there.

If you aren't familiar with Peter and Gordon's achingly beautiful 'I Go to Pieces,' you owe it to yourself to give it a listen. This one song of Del's gives a whole new meaning to the word 'immortality.'

Very interesting and good sounding enhancements of two of my favourite artists: Del Shannon and The Association. thank you very much!

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.

Amazing you knew him - what a privilege. But goes to show, these gods of rock 'n' roll were real people, just like the rest of us...

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.

The backing vocalist on this are weirdly mesmerizing

Thank you, Thank You. I just found several of your new enhanced versions and they are all GREAT! Well done.

Thank you, Sirs, for the beautiful work you have done here. I am a musician/songwriter, and I just heard parts of this song I have never heard before. It has a whole new dimension to it.

Nice and clean. You can even hear the hand clapping in the background. Well done!

Man do I miss these days. Everything was so less complicated and the world wasn't as evil .

Great job, Kenn, on all the songs. Thank you!!

Wish we could of saved you Del, there's always something that could of been done, but as much as someone can do for another person if your heart is all in on what you did, only CHRIST could of stopped you, and I wish to GOD we had all prayed for you, and my words to you would of been to pray with all your heart soul mind and all your strength, to the FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT, Amen

This. Is. Gorgeous.

Magic days listening to Del.

man .... its like a whole new song!!!

Nice Job Kenn...I think Del would be real proud of you. I did hear the enhance track cut off a couple of milliseconds early though:)

Salve, : È senz’altro affascinante avere il 45 rpm, monoaurale Anni 60’s dell’originale Cantante, per poi ascoltarlo con il suo tipico “falsetto”, nella presentazione della più accattivante versione Stereo.- Aldo da Verona.- Grazie !!!

I'm finally back on-line Kenn. And your the first channel I check up on when I go on-line. Glad you just did another great enhancement. Love the timing. It was worth a week's wait.

Del was a leader in the rock & roll movement. He will always be noted as a legendary writer and recording artist. One of the best and a tragic loss to the recording business !!

MP3 pulls out lots of stuff. You added it back. Thank you. 👍👍

memories of the 60's, playing "Stick Ball" on West 88st. (NYC, NY)!

Thank you for the time and effort you put into this!

Loved this song !Thank you

Thank you for doing this!

His manager muscled in the Del's rights

Love this song!

Just another example of the great music that was out in the early 60's.To dance to this music was just plain BOSS.Ya I know how uncool that statement is but you just don't know what you missed!

Those were the good times

Great job on the remix Kenn..I like the claps. If you get bored, try claps from start to finish, might be interesting.

Great Song❤️

AWESOME

Thank you

Wow I can hear handclaps and organ that I hadn't heard before. Great mixing

I AGREE WITH ALL THE PRAISE FOR THIS REMIX, BUT WITH ONE EXCEPTION , AND THIS IS A PERSONAL CHOICE. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE THUMPING BASS ON THIS RECORD, ESPECIALLY WITH THE INTRO, WHICH SEEM'S TO HAVE BEEN TONED DOWN. MAYBE THAT'S THE PRICE FOR ALL THE EXTRAS IN THE BAND WIDTH ? BUT STILL GREAT, I LOVE BOTH.

Very nice! 5 May 2017

Nice song (: I really like Del

I've got that Australian "Little Town Flirt" EP . I was in Perth WA in 1975, walked through a lane way past a pub and the side door was open, could hear this Del Shannon music and you could see Del singing on a small stage. See you have enhanced "Friday On My Mind" by the Easybeats. Any chance of doing their 3 big Aussie hits prior to Friday, "She's So Fine", "Wedding Ring", and "Sorry"?

Tragic that he took himself out. So much talent !

Nice enhancement on this one. Tom K.

My first 45 purchase !!!!!!!!!

I forgot to add in my last post that the drummer's work in this song is most excellent as well.

On my radiogram the lyrics suffered.😂

Brilliant reproduction well balanced sound. Could you please upgrade the Rolling Stones SATISFACTION. It used to be available !
