Description

Roy Orbison The Classic Roy Orbison on 180g LP.

2015 Remaster in Recognition of the 50th Anniversary of Orbisons Signing to the MGM Label!

2015 marks a historic 50-year milestone for music legend Roy Orbison. On July 1, 1965, The Big O left Monument Records and signed with MGM Records, going on to release 11 studio albums, a film soundtrack and 27 singles over the course of the following eight years, and at the same time scoring another 11 worldwide Top 40 hits. In recognition of this golden anniversary of Orbisons signing of one of the most lucrative and groundbreaking record deals of the era, Universal is releasing the all encompassing MGM Years box set and reissuing his output for the label in remastered stand alone 180g vinyl versions.

Roys signing with MGM Records gave him a newfound musical freedom that can be heard throughout his tenure with the label. The Classic Roy Orbison was originally released in July of 1966. Dont be thrown by the title of this, the third album from Orbisons MGM years, as its anything but typical. Roy breaks all convention with these 12 timeless songs holding steadfastly to his own unique artistry. Pantomime is best described as epic while the single Twinkle Toes isnt far behind and topped out on the charts at No. 13. This re-issue is fully remixed and remastered to return the audio to its original glory. Package also includes fully restored original artwork.
