Title: A complete dog. Not even completists need this
Review: This album is many years removed from the string of great 45s (and, truth be told, spottier LPs) that Roy Orbison released in the '50s and '60s, not only chronologically, but also in content. Which, here, can only be described as wretched. There cannot be any question that this represents the nadir of Orbison's recorded career. Though his mid '70s efforts for Monument were nothing to write home about, at least they remained several steps above dismal. This does not. Roy was in the midst of recovery from a heart attack when this was recorded, and one has trouble imagining what might have "inspired" him to hop back on the recording track for this dreck. Bad songs, lousy performances, hideous cover photo. This album manages to do just about everything wrong. Why Elektra chose to put this one back into print when so many classic early Elektra titles remain unavailable on CD is anyone's guess.dap
