2015 marks a historic 50-year milestone for music legend Roy Orbison. On July 1, 1965, The Big O left Monument Records and signed with MGM Records, going on to release 11 studio albums, a film soundtrack and 27 singles over the course of the following eight years, and at the same time scoring another 11 worldwide Top 40 hits. In recognition of this golden anniversary of Orbison's signing of one of the most lucrative and groundbreaking record deals of the era, Universal is releasing the all encompassing MGM Years box set and reissuing his output for the label in remastered stand alone 180g vinyl versions.
Roy's signing with MGM Records gave him a newfound musical freedom that can be heard throughout his tenure with the label. Roy Orbison Sings Don Gibson was originally released in January of 1967. In this, Roy's fourth album for MGM, he pays tribute to one of his favorite songwriters, Don Gibson. Released mere months after the tragic death of his beautiful young wife Claudette, Roy Orbison Sings Don Gibson let fans know that he could always take solace in his music. The single "Too Soon to Know" reached No. 3 on the UK charts. This re-issue is fully remixed and remastered to return the audio to its original glory. Package also includes fully restored original artwork. --- musicdirect.com
