CD Reviews

Not The Best At First
Music lov a | 11/25/2004
(3 out of 5 stars)

"To the average fan this album is not really what it seems. The majority of the songs are live or different versions of the original. I thought I was getting the greatest of his studio hits. If I knew it was going to be like this I never would have bought it. Although, being a novice fan, I got introduced to a lots of different songs and great recordings of old songs. But, if I were starting my Orbison collection today, this is the last album I would buy."
All the Classics

"I bought this album solely for the song "Memphis Tennessee" because I could not find it anywhere else. Verdict: Worth every penny. Come on now, it's Roy."
Magnificent

(5 out of 5 stars)

"What can you say, about this collection. It brings together all his fabulous hits of the 60's, some 70's material and his brilliant late 80's material around the Traveling Wilbury's period whilst writing & producing with the great Jeff Lynne.

A super collection of songs from a legend that should be purchased by all music lovers of classic rock & roll & pop music."
