Can you believe there hasn't been a legitimate Shangri-Las collection issued on vinyl since, well, forever?! At least not since the advent of the CD era. But Real Gone Music are making up for lost time with this one - when it comes to Shangri-Las compilations, this one's (sorry) the leader of the pack! 25 tracks newly remastered by Eliot Kissilef from tape sources featuring the best possible versions of each song, presented in a 2-LP set pressed in (vroom! vroom!) clear with black swirl "Tailpipe Exhaust" vinyl, and housed in a gatefold jacket with a black leatherette finish. Liner notes by Shangri-Las maven John Grecco and photos complete the package. "Remember (Walkin' in the Sand)," "Leader of the Pack," "Give Him a Great Big Kiss," "I Can Never Go Home Anymore"...all your faves, sounding better than ever before!
