Orbison, Roy - Monument Singles Collection 1960-64

Orbison, Roy - Monument Singles Collection 1960-64

180 gram audiophile vinyl

Gatefold sleeve with a printed bronze metallic layer Includes printed inner sleeves and an insert Celebrating the 90th birthday of Roy Orbison Featuring "Oh, Pretty Woman", "Only the Lonely", "In Dreams" & "Crying"

Roy Orbison is often credited with having one of the most powerful voices in Rock ā€˜n Roll. He certainly had one of the most distinctive ones; yet his operatic quavering and impressive range were used to portray a quiet and desperate vulnerability that was foreign to most of his rebelling, sex, drugs & rock’n’roll contemporaries. This vulnerability is probably why he was so very popular in the ā€˜60s, and why after a dip of almost twenty years he could easily reclaim his prominence in the ā€˜80s. When David Lynch (in)famously used his song "In Dreams" in Blue Velvet the public–and Roy himself–learned that there was a different side to his sultriness, and interest in his music was renewed.

To celebrate what would have been his 90th birthday The Monument Singles Collection is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on gold coloured vinyl and includes an insert and printed inner sleeves.
