4 out of 5 stars Classic Shannon sound.......2001-06-18

A two-fer containing the earlier Big-Top era "Little Town Flirt" album and the rejuvenated Del Shannon's Amy "Handy Man" album. The "... Flirt" album presents some of his best material from his earlier hit-making days. Of note is that many of the songs here (tracks 1-3, 5, 7, 9-12) are the rare stereo versions and while some may say they are inferior to the single mixes, they have a sound stage and fidelity that really brings the material alive. The "Handy Man" album is the first of Del's second wind string of hits on Amy. These tracks are all in mono. While Del's classic sound remains on this group of tracks, there is little original material of the quality of his Big Top era. It does present the grittier "Handy Man" Jimmy Jones remake and the first U.S.-charted Lennon-McCartney tune, "From Me To You". Although both albums have been taken from original masters, the sound quality is better on the "Flirt" album sides (the Amy stuff has always been saturated-sounding). With so many greatest hits collections available, this piece is notable for the "Flirt" album - both content and sound quality.
