^ Yeah, I was wondering when someone would point out that recording technology would render moot the arguments of RS and Exo. Actually, I'm leaning to the theory that rubber soul's mum was dating Del Shannon at the time Runaway was released. He could've sung it to her while they were courting and given her a signed copy as a keepsake. It all falls into place if we accept that rubber soul is Del Shannon's illegitimate love child; he heard Runaway both in and out of the womb and now has it hard-wired into his DNA.
As for the song, Runaway, I like the hook,
Run Run Runaway, but for me Del Shannon was the kind of artist I was happy to leave behind in favour of the Beatles/Stones/Kinks etc. so I don't think you're missing out on much, Qwertyy.
