this one captures the essential and is truly a reference.

3) MGM YEARS
THE SINGLES COLLECTION 1965 - 1973
This CD offers almost all the A-Sides that Roy Orbison recorded
during his MGM contract. It's the better way to discover this less
succesfull and unkown period of Orbison career. A period of
Orbison life that was ponctuated by the loss of his wife Claudette in a
moto accident and the loss of two of his childrens in the fire of his
house few years later.
Tracks: Ride Away Crawling Back
Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart Twinkle Toes Too Soo To Know
Communication Breakdown So Good Cry Softly Lonely One
She Born to Be Loved by You Walk On Heartache Southbound
Jericho Parkway Penny Arcade She Cheats on Me So Young
(Love Me Like You Did) Last Night God Love You Remember the Good
Memphis, Tennessee Blue Rain (Coming Down) I Wanna Live.
