Single-disc The Ultimate Collection is the first career-spanning Roy Orbison compilation since their double-disc Essential from a decade earlier. At 40 tracks, Essential would seem to have an edge over The Ultimate Collection, but the 2016 compilation has a significant advantage in that it contains the original hit versions of “Running Scared” and “In Dreams,” Continue reading “Roy Orbison – The Ultimate Collection (2016) [2018, Japan Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

There have been countless Roy Orbison collections over the years, but all too often overdubbed or stereo versions are used, which possess neither the presence nor the bite of his original mono 45rpm versions. Indeed, the best way to listen to Roy is to hear those original singles in glorious, pristine mono, sounding exactly as they did when you bought them all those decades ago.

This gem includes classic Sun masters “Ooby Dooby” and “Mean Little Mama,” alternate versions of original Sam Phillips recordings, reworked by Shelby Singleton, and featuring an unreleased recording of “Problem Child.” Continue reading “Roy Orbison – The Original Sound (1969) [Official Digital Release] [2022, Remastered, CD-Quality + Hi-Res]”

Roy Orbison – Lonely And Blue (1961) [1995, MasterSound Remastered]

Roy Orbison - Lonely And Blue (1961) [1995, MasterSound Remastered]

Time and familiarity — through multiple reissues — may have muted the seeming significance of some of what’s here, but in 1960 Sings Lonely and Blue was not only a breakthrough for Roy Orbison as his debut LP, but also for rock & roll. Up to that point, apart from Elvis Presley — who was in a class by himself — few white rock & rollers had even tried to make as bold a use of the LP as what we hear on this record.

Roy Orbison – The Soul Of Rock And Roll (2008) [4CD Box Set]

Roy Orbison - The Soul Of Rock And Roll (2008) [4CD Box Set]

In 1988, Columbia Records released a four-disc Roy Orbison retrospective called The Legendary Roy Orbison. It contained 74 tracks. It was a great package except for one thing: it sounded terrible, as the mastering techniques in the first days of the CD were not what they are now. The Soul of Rock and Roll, issued by Sony Legacy in 2008, is an enormous improvement in the sonic arena, just for starters. This four-disc collection contains 107 tracks (33 more than the previous box) with selections from all the labels Orbison recorded for.

Roy Orbison – Lonely And Blue (1961) [1999, MFSL Remastered]

Roy Orbison - Lonely And Blue (1961) [1999, MFSL Remastered]

Lonely and Blue is the first music album recorded by Roy Orbison for Monument Records, released in 1961.

A Black & White Night Live, the live album, was compiled and released posthumously from the television special. The album was released in February 1989 and included the songs “Blue Bayou” and “Claudette” that were cut from the original broadcast for time. However it did not include the song “Blue Angel” which was cut from the original broadcast for the same reason.
