The Very Best of Roy Orbison [Sony/BMG Australia]

by Roy Orbison

Overview

Yes, the song selection for The Very Best of Roy Orbison is excellent, containing all of his hits. However, all of the material on the record consists of re-recordings Orbison made during the mid-'80s, and while he's in fine voice, these versions simply aren't as special or magical as the originals. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
