Description
Deluxe digipak presentation - 16-page booklet with rare photos, vintage memorabilia, and detailed liner notes.
With his twanging guitar and quavering bel canto tenor, Roy Orbison created his trademark sound - a combination between soulful rock & roll, pop, snarling blues and his mainstay, the romantic/paranoiac ballad with falsetto crescendos and strings.
Orbison recorded most of his best work between the mid '50s and the early '60s, including hits like "Only the Lonely," "Ooby Dooby," "Running Scared," "Crying," "Dream Baby," and "Workin' for the Man," to name just a few. Those and many others, have been included on this essential CD, which compiles all of Roy Orbison's 7" singles (A & B sides) released between 1956 and 1962.
The original gems presented here have been brilliantly remastered to achieve the most pristine sound. These sides helped to consolidate "The Big O" (Orbison's nickname) as one of the all-time-great singers.
