MONUMENT SINGLES COLLELCTION 1960-1964

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 & rocknroll 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 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 what would have been his 90th birthday The Monument Singles Collection is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on gold coloured vinyl and includes an insert and printed inner sleeves.
