Roy Orbison

INCLUDES 8 BONUS TRACKS

This collector’s edition presents a wide selection of early recordings Roy Orbison made, between 1956 and 1958, at the Memphis Recording Service (now commonly known as Sun Studio), prior to signing with the RCA-Victor and Monument labels. Every effort has been made to replicate the incredible vibrancy ofthe original Sun material.

In addition, this set contains 8 bonus tracks, including Orbison’s guest appearances from that period. Although he eventually went on to greater commercial success in the early and mid-‘60s, all of these remastered gems form the building blocks of Roy Orbison’s musical legacy.
