Roy Orbison
Orbison explains in the liner notes that MGM will allow him "a new climate of freedom" as an artist, but the results of his first album for the label were unimpressive. He forsakes much of the rock & roll foundation of his classic early-'60s hits for Nashville country & western on most of the LP, complete with barroom piano. The material (mostly written by Orbison with various collaborators) doesn't approach the magnificence of his best work, and his version of his composition "Claudette" isn't nearly as good as the Everly Brothers' hit rendition from 1958. The highlight is the strange, almost rambling minor hit single, "Ride Away." Top reviews from the United StatesThere was a problem filtering reviews right now.

Instead of buying another set, I ordered this CD, There is Only One Roy Orbison, which included my favorite missing songs, except In Dreams. I hate it when these "best of" albums and CD's only give you some of the "best of" and not all. Anyway, I think the quality of the recordings are really good. The CD was delivered as scheduled and in perfect condition. Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019 THERE IS ONLY ONE ROY ORBISON, MGM Records E 4308 mono/SE 4308 stereo. 2018 reissue on thick slab of 180 gram vinyl. I heard Roy's Monument hits on the country radio in the late '70s and early '80s, especially "Oh, Pretty Woman." Roy's albums, other than beat up old mono Monument hits' comps and a Shelby Singleton rechanneled three-buck stereo budget bin Sun Records' repackage, eluded me through most of the early '80s, but I acquired the Monument hits' comp 2 Lp set on Columbia, ALL TIME GREATEST HITS, in decently used condition with the great, great songs that sounded like mud. Just before the end of vinyl I bought the Rhino 2 Lp set. Roy's Monument stock albums were impossible at any price, but they were a few hits tracks and filler cover tunes anyway. Roy's MGM period albums in the late '70s and early '80s were leftover stock, hit and miss available on MGM '70s yellow/green swirl labels, except this title. EVERY copy of THERE IS ONLY ONE... Lp I came across looked like it had been stomped on, cover worn out with a big white ring, cover art sun bleached and faded, all of them mono. I probably flipped through 20 or more over the years, all of them barely playable at all, stored badly, had the look that the playing surface had been stored in powdery dust, and always mono. Hurrah for top quality reissues of forgotten '60s artists! Pressing quality and sound on this are better than the originals. The only quibble I have with this is the lack of the originals' stereo "banner" at the top of the album cover. Posterboard cover has a nice slick finish; Lp is pressed on a reproduction black '60s MGM label. Stereo playback. Orbison's U.S. hits followed the trajectory of all the pre-'64 pop/rockers. His material here is the better side of hit or miss, with maybe two tracks, "I'm In A Blue Blue Mood" and "Sugar and Honey" up to his middling Monument hits, but I think the British Invasion gutted all the early '60s Nashville pop chart artists equally: Jerry Lee Lewis, Waylon Jennings, Charlie Rich, Brenda Lee, Johnny Tillotson, Elvis Presley (after "Bossa Nova Baby," stink, stank, stunk...), Skeeter Davis, etc.... The only guy who escaped being stiffed off the main hit singles' charts was the excruciating Bobby Goldsboro, whose treacle shifted over to the country charts in the early '70s. Judging by other MGM artists (recording labels tended to have a "sound"), jumping ship to MGM put Orbison in the company of Conway Twitty (who got out of rock and went Country with Decca) and Connie Francis crying her way through sedate showroom ASCAP geezer tunes.

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2015 It took a long time to receive but played very good. I guess I misunderstood it was used and I thought it was supposed to be new.

There most definitely was only the one Roy Orbison, a man with an amazing triple octave voice that added so much to music and the songs he sang. 2.0 out of 5 stars Sound is excellent and the songs. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2019 This album is very sort and it is not worth the money you pay for it. 5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2015 1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid Reviewed in Australia on September 17, 2021 A great album but a very poor pressing. Lifeless sound & full of clicks & pops. Why does Universal Music have these LPs manufactured in the Czech Republic? The answer....cheapness. The result...a disastrous noisy pressing. 5.0 out of 5 stars There is only one Roy Orbison Reviewed in France on May 8, 2016 Apres Son depart chez Monument en 1965 Roy Orbison signe un contrac avec MGM records et le premier disque est un coup dans What was Roy Orbison's last recorded song?Orbison died of a heart attack in December 1988 at age 52.
