Oddly enough, I just got a copy of and have been listening to Del
Shannon's "Home and Away". It claims on the back he was attempting a
British response to Pet Sounds. I'd say "He Cheated", "Cut and Come
Again", or maybe "Friendly with you" would fit what you are looking
for, very easily. Really a nice disc that is new to my ears..
(a tip I got from M.Barone!!)
