Hats Off to Del Shannon is the second studio album by American rock and roll singer-songwriter Del Shannon, it was released in May 1963 in the UK to coincide with Shannon's tour.[3]

This album was not released in the U.S. or Canada.[3] It contains his last six U.S. A-sides and its six U.S. B-sides. There were no covers of songs recorded specifically for an album release as there would be for most of his albums later on.[3] a Natural for all his fans and as entertaining a collection of contempoary pops as you will find in any album[4]
