Inspiration and background
Researched recording background
Dion's New Masters contains a later performance of Runaround Sue, issued on the 2003 Dion Productions album. The artist's own catalog lists New Masters separately from his original Runaround Sue release. Keeping this album-specific performance separate prevents its later release date and version from overwriting the established 1961 hit.
Evidence scope: Sourced recording, release or edition context; private songwriting inspiration is not inferred.
