Roy Orbison – The Monument Singles Collection – Vinyl LP

High Quality, Gatefold Sleeve, Insert, Coloured Vinyl, Limited Edition

Roy Orbison is often credited with having one of the most powerful voices in Rock ‘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 ’60s, and why after a dip of almost twenty years he could easily reclaim his prominence in the ’80s.

When David Lynch (in)famously used his song ‘In Dreams’ in the 1986 movie 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 the immense catalog that Roy Orbison has created, on what would have been his 90th birthday, Music On Vinyl is releasing The Monument Singles Collection 1960-1964,

The Monument Singles Collection, with hits like Only The Lonely, Crying, and of course Pretty Woman, is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on gold vinyl and includes an insert and printed inner sleeves.
