What you are bidding on is a beautiful hard to find 1st pressing of DEL SHANNON: RUNAWAY WITH DEL SHANNON.  This rock rarity is on the BIG TOP RECORDS label pressed in USA.  If you need this lp, this is a great one to have. This came from a collector who took well care of his lps.  Very hard to find. First pressing from 1961. First time we've every had this in 36 years of selling records. Not another one on EBAY.

Here is the story, at least as far as I can gather:

Here is the  HOLY GRAIL of Del Shannon records --a STEREO copy of  the LP "Runaway".  In addition to being Del's biggest hit, this is a very early Stereo rarity.  This was one of the first "rock" lps ever released in true stereo, and it's been said to have had only 50-80 of them in existance!  Hell, Dell Shannon did not even know about it until 1980!  There is not another one on sale on EBAY (you know it's rare when that happens).  This is truly a piece of Rock history, and a great lp to boot.  Notice the Gold Stereo on the cover!  This is dynamic stereo as well, not that fake duophonic crap.

First pressing.
