Editorial Review: Album Description: Here is, bar none, the most all-inclusive anthology ever assembled to honor the greatest singer ever considered to be a "Rock and Roll artist." But Roy Kelton Orbison was so much more: behind his ever-present sunglasses and beneath his shock of raven-black hair, clad in black, he was rock's Mystery Man, the possessor of the most glorious voice ever to soar on such signature songs as "Only The Lonely," "In Dreams," "Running Scared," "Crying" and "Oh, Pretty Woman," to cite a mere handful of his Top Ten hits. As Orbison's widow, Barbara, who is also this collection's Executive Producer, points out in her loving annotation contained in this four-CD package: "For the first time, you will have a chance to hear Roy's first recording to the last time he ever sang--Dec. 4, 1988, in Akron, Ohio. Roy recorded for several different labels [including 15 covered in this 107-song collection] and toured the world many, many times--we have numerous unreleased masters [specifically, 12 in this package] and live performances included in this box set to make it truly special."

![]() Rating: - Great compilation of a great musician and his careerThis is a wonderful addition to the music library of anyone who appreciates the career of Roy Orbison. Rating: - Greatest R.O. ProductThis new Orbison box set contains 4 cds of greatness. It is considered by many to be one of the greatest Roy Orbison products ever. Even Rolling Stone gave it a 5 star review. It pours greatness from the moment you open up the package..... Personally, I am very glad that some of those 1950s recordings were made available to the public. The previously unreleased material (mainly from disc 1) is so great. The song "Tutti Frutti" has to be one of my new all-time favorite songs. Roy Orbison's voice ...

The vocals are amazing, and every time I listen to a track I never heard before, I am in awe. There are so many songs, so many I haven't ever heard. I am very glad I made this purchase. Rating: - Great PurchaseI am not usually the guy that buys box sets because they all seem to be "Greatest Hit" compilations, and if I like an artist enough, I already own all of their CD's and I have the option of making my own greatest hit CD. But when it came to this box set, it includes much, much more than simply "Greatest Hits". There are some rare songs on here that I did not have on other disks. I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't just the CD's that you received in this package, but I also got a fairly large and informative ... Read More Rating: - Precious and Priceless! Thank You Barbara Orbison!For the better part of the past two decades since his untimely and premature passing, Barbara Orbison has consistently produced remarkably outstanding, high quality remastered and impressively packaged reissues of her beloved late husband's monumental musical legacy, the incredibly gifted, influential vocalist, ROY ORBISON. Roy is deeply missed by his legions of fans the world over and unexpectedly left our world in December 1988 during the steadily rising, full steam ahead, skyrocketing comeback and what ...
