This best-of compilation with golden hits by Charles Weedon Westover (1934–1990), better known by his stage name Del Shannon, was released in 1978 by Pickwick Records. The opening track is his 1961 number-one Billboard hit “Runaway”.

The uncredited cover designer combined Phil Martin’s Introspect with Chelmsford Bold. The latter is a knockoff of Hermann Zapf’s Optima, for the Addresso-Multigraph. It can be told apart by the A with a cusp on the left.
