Oh Pretty Woman was a UK only release compilation LP to exploit Roy's enormous popularity in Britain during the mid 1960s. Punters are advised to avoid this one and to stick with the authorised albums on the US Monument label. (UK:4)
"A talent unsurpassed in popular music, that gets better the more songs I have heard of his over the years."
"No one should need reminding that Roy Orbison possessed the ultimate voice in conveying paranoia, tortured emotions and fatalism in his songs."
"If you're old enough to have enjoyed these songs first time around, it's a great trip down memory lane. If you're younger it could educate you as to how it was when your parents were teenagers."
"Roy was a great musician with a unique and truly amazing voice."
"Roy Orbison was without a doubt one of the most gifted performers in rock & roll history. No one could write miniature operas quite like he could."
"I have listened to Roy all the way from junior high to the present, almost 59 years old today. His voice was unmistakable and soared from the heavens. He truly put out some of the most memorable 45s from the music of my life."
"What words haven't been written about this amazing performer. Anything I say would be totally inadequate."
"Orbison had such accomplished vocal skills that listening to him sing is an incredible experience, nay, I would have to call it sublime."
