NotesDigitally remastered edition of this fabled unreleased classic from Rock legend Del Shannon. Recorded at London's Olympic Studios in February 1967, Home & Away was intended by Rolling Stones producer/Immediate Records founder Andrew Loog Oldham to be the British answer to Pet Sounds. Del's passionate lead vocals are supported by a soft psychedelic tour de force of sound. The ambitious recordings feature a baroque mixture of harpsichords, flutes, and French horns. Home & Away also features numerous legends of the Immediate family, including Nicky Hopkins, Steve Marriott, John Paul Jones, Andy White, Twice as Much, PP Arnold, and Billy Nicholls-who contributed three songs as well as backing vocals. Although some singles from the sessions were released at the time, the LP that was to comprise Home & Away languished in the vaults for many years. Included here are all of the tracks that were intended for Home & Away, along with mono single mixes of five songs from the album.
