Product Description

Album Description

• The first in the series is a strong collection of De Shannon originals such as ‘When You Walk In The Room’, ‘The Prince’ and ‘You Won’t Forget Me’, along with her original version of ‘Needles & Pins’. • The LP was hastily compiled in 1964 to capitalise on De Shannon being chosen to support the Beatles on their US tour that year. The rather ordinary LP front cover with a photo of De Shannon from somewhere else, not from the tour, rather reflects the haste. However the recordings are superb, arranged by Jack Nitzsche and confirm what a tremendous performer she is, as the original liner notes declared: • "Far from being just a decorative contrast on the stage Jackie has proven to be a terrific success. Her twisting, shouting performances have drawn wild applause and cheers from the record crowds at every concert."

• In addition there are 8 bonus non LP tracks from the contemporary singles.• Album compiled by and with annotation from Jim Pierson and Jackie De Shannon and includes packaging material from De Shannon’s own archive.

• Re-mastered from original tapes in the Liberty vaults and is first time on CD for the whole LP and many of the bonus tracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars 48 minutes of sixties bliss, 23 Nov 2005
By Oscillator (Carluke) - See all my reviews
The original album was obviously cobbled together opportunistically but nevertheless it's been used as the basis for a very good package. It's nicely presented with decent liner notes (as is usually the case with RPM) and features a a strong collection of songs. Bearing in mind the era of these recordings the sound is largely fine as well. Once the bonus tracks are added you have a mixture of DeShannon compositions ("When You Walk In The Room", "Till You Say You'll Be Mine", "Try To Forget Him", "Give Me A Break"), co writes with the likes of Randy Newman ("Hold Your Head High", "She Don't Understand Him Like I Do") and strong interpretations (such as the definitive version of Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono's "Needles and Pins"). Stylistically while it obviously belongs to the early to mid sixties it's quite varied journeying from proto jangly pop via Spectorish girl group pop to strong ballad performaces. Most significantly there is a discernible energy and enthusiasm in DeShannon's performances throughout this disc. A good purchase for fans of sixties pop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mainly rock'n'roll, 18 May 2009
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
When Jackie DeShannon was booked as one of the opening acts on the Beatles' 1964 American tour, her record label hastily put together an album. At the time, Jackie was relatively unknown even in her own country, but the tour guaranteed her plenty of exposure. Whether or not the fans who attended the concerts took much notice of the supporting acts, people in the music industry certainly did. A lot of singers and groups, especially from Britain, started taking an interest in Jackie's music. They recorded covers of songs that she'd recorded, some but not all of which she'd written.

The first twelve tracks here made up the original Beatles tour album. The eight bonus tracks include two that were released together as the two sides of a single, two tracks from a 1965 album (You won't forget me, the title track of which is also on the main album here) and four tracks that weren't released at the time, one of which has previously been made available on a CD compilation.

Several songs here are famous because of other versions although sometimes Jackie was the first singer to record them. The Searchers recorded two of them (Needles and pins, When you walk in the room) after hearing Jackie's versions and had huge international hits with them. Plenty of other singers have recorded one or both of these songs since then, sometimes also charting with them. Smokie returned Needles and pins to the British top ten in the seventies. A duet version of the same song by Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks made the American top forty in the eighties. Pam Tillis recorded a country version of When you walk in the room , taking it to number two in the country charts in the nineties.

Breakaway (one of the bonus tracks, which closes this set) became an American single, but not a big hit, for Irma Thomas in the sixties. In the eighties, British singer-comedienne Tracey Ullman covered the song and scored a British top five hit and minor American hit. Jackie's version, never released on vinyl, made its public debut on a CD compilation in the nineties, appropriately titled What the world needs now is Jackie DeShannon.

Jackie has always been a huge Buddy Holly fan and may well be the only singer to record a tribute song to him while he was alive. That song, simply titled Buddy, isn't here though it is easy to find, but three covers of his songs (Oh boy, I'm looking for someone to love, Maybe baby) are here.

Jackie was one of the first to record Randy Newman's song writing talents. She co-wrote one song (Hold your head high) with him and recorded another of his compositions (Did he call today Mama). There are many other wonderful songs here including covers of He's got the world in his hands (a traditional song), Over you (first recorded by Aaron Neville) and Mean old Frisco (an Arthur Crudup song, somewhat less famous than those of his songs that Elvis Presley covered).

Like several of Jackie's albums, this one spans a variety of styles, though the emphasis here is on rock'n'roll, which is just the kind of music that the Beatles recorded at the time of their 1964 tour with Jackie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great title, 4 Nov 2006
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
After Jackie de Shannon opened for the Beatles for the Shea Stadium of 1964 her record company found a perfect excuse for issuing what was the equivalent of her first Greatest Hits album or Singles Collection and used the name of the Beatles to sell it.
In her own country she was closer to a Cult artist but in the UK a number of her songs were picked up by the Searchers who topped the charts with Needles & Pins-written by Bono & Nitschze-and When you walk in the room.This prompted her to record over here but she was unable to secure a hit single.
In the States it would not be till about 1966 she charted with a Burt Bacharach song.
This collection is of her work from 1962/3 and the CD has added more extra songs.She was both a writer and an interpreter at home mostly in the folk rock area
