I gave this as a gift to my mom for Christmas last year, and she loves it. She's a big Roy Orbison fan, and this has every song she loves.

I was a youngster when most of these song came out, I don't remember Roy releasing any song on the first disk. They are all re-makes. And the one song I wanted wasn't there. I had it on 8 track in 69 and would listen to it repeatedly speeding up I5. Nothing. He sang about his 'big motor turning'. That's what I had in my 69 Camaro. Still have the car, the engines even bigger and I still have the 8 track in the car,,,,,but no song.

Goergia Public TV featured this collection from Roy as a means to raise funds for the access channel. Excellant performance, excellant music, Roy never fails to deliver....The whole family was up dancing and singing along. We had to have a copy, but instead of buying it through the access channel at almost $50 plus dollars at the lowest contribution level, I went out to Amazon and was able to purchase this collection at less than half that. Delivery was quick, and the sound quality of this collection was excellant. Two thumbs up !!

I was thrilled to find this set - it's got several of the less-popular Orbison tunes (esp. "Evergreen") that are hard to find. Worth every penny.

This is the best collection of the original, legendary hits (and album cuts) Orbison recorded for the Monument label. Lot of bang for your buck. It has all the greatest hits and some great favorites ("Beautiful Dreamer" is a personal fave)not always found on CDs featuring anywhere between 16 and 20-something tracks. It also contains three cuts from Roy's mid 50's Sun period as well as some tunes he recorded when he returned to the Monument label in the 1970s. These later tunes sound out of place on this collection. I would have preferred 50 all-Monument sides circa '59 -- '65 (where is the cool "Blue Avenue" darnit?).
