The Classic Roy Orbison was the final top twenty album from the Big O during the sixties. He would chart again with an album of new songs 23 years later, after his death. (UK:12)
"Orbison remains one of the true godfathers of rock 'n' roll and pop with his deep catalogue still fondly remembered by millions of people around the world. He was known for his smooth tenor voice, which could jump three octaves with little trouble. Orbison's talents have continued to keep him poised high in the upper echelons of rock legends. This album is not a collection of hits as the title suggests but an album full of masterful songs performed in that classic Orbison way."
"The songs on The Classic Roy Orbison and are truly special. Being one of the greatest ballad singer of all times, there are a lot of unforgettable beauties on this."
"This will not disappoint. There was no one like him. What a voice and what a great songwriter."
"The Classic Roy Orbison is a more erratic collection that perhaps reflects the crisis in Orbison's career. Amongst the choice tracks is City Life, a vigorous rocker that includes some of Orbison's finest lyrics; the surreal Pantomime, which displays shades of hedonistic revelry and the atmospheric Wait that conveys the frustration of an illicit affair. On the negative side is the unintentionally comedic Twinkle Toes. The Classic Roy Orbison is a mixed bag that veers from brilliance to banality."
"Roy Orbison's albums never cease to amaze me. His lyrics, music and never to be equalled voice are fantastic."
