Description
Far better known as a songwriter than singer, Ernie Maresca's brief recording career nonetheless yielded the R&R classic, 'Shout! Shout! (Knock Yourself Out)', which guaranteed him a pride of place entry in the pantheon of "One-Hit Wonders". This compilation presents Maresca's entire recorded output for the Seville label between 1960-62, including both the mono and stereo mixes of his irresistible hit.
The sixteen bonus tracks feature a number of celebrated performances of his songs, including his three all-time biggest hits, Dion's definitive versions of 'Runaround Sue', 'The Wanderer' and 'Lovers Who Wander'.
Also featured are The Belmonts, The Regents, Nino & The Ebb Tides, Ricky Shaw and Billy Fury, the latter with a cheeky UK re-imagining one of his lesser-known Popcorn killers.
Maresca's recordings are notoriously hard to find elsewhere on CD, and this is the first compilation to present a coherent career overview, including some of the hits he wrote for other artists.
