Roy Orbison

Я там не стал перечислять сборники, хотя на них попадались нигде не издаваемые песни. Вот например, песню "Love Star" можно было найти только на сборнике "Greatest Hits" в 1964, то эе самое с песней "Evergreen".

Ням!

Claudette, give me a piece!!!

Интересная история про 19 перезаписанных в 1985 году "Монументальных" хитов Роя. Возможно, это известная история для "орбисоведов", но я только сейчас об этом узнал, впрочем, за достоверность не ручаюсь и скорее даже наоборот - хочу узнать, правда ли всё это.
В начале 80-х годов "Монумент" обанкротился и вопрос по поводу прав на записи Роя периода "Монумента" повис в воздухе. Долгие годы шла судебная тяжба (кто там с кем тягался - не в курсе) по этому поводу, однако консенсуса кгрится не наблюдалось. Записи не переиздавались и накал страстей был такой, что в случае неразрешения спора мастеры могли бы быть запросто уничтожены. И Рой Орбисон, якобы опасаясь этого, пришёл в студию и записал лучшие свои песни в том же виде, в котором они были записаны в начале 60-х.

DVD Release Date: February 28, 2006

"Roy Orbison is the greatest singer in the world." –Elvis Presley.

This revealing program includes classic music performance, personal home movies, photos, location footage and interviews with the stars Roy Orbison touched with his music. The remarkable body of work by Roy Orbison is tied not to any one decade, but virtually the entire life span of rock ‘n’ roll. He began his career in the 50’s, a friend and contemporary of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash, and scored eight Top Ten hits between 1940 and 1964 with songs like Only The Lonely, Running Scared, Dream Baby, Crying, In Dreams, It’s Over, and Oh, Pretty Woman, becoming one of the only American artists to ride out the British Invasion. He was inducted in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall Of Fame and joined the Traveling Wilburys alongside Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and George Harrison in the 80’s. In the 90’s, his posthumous album, Mystery Girl, became the biggest selling album of his illustrious career. "In 1975, when I went into the studio to make "Born To Run", I wanted to make a record with words like Bob Dylan, that sounded like Phil Spector…but most of all, I wanted to sing like Roy Orbison." – Bruce Springsteen. "His great gift was to turn the pain and bad luck that he experienced into groundbreaking songs. – Bono. Guest Stars: Bruce Springsteen, Robert Plant, Bono, Jeff Lynne, Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb, Robin Gibb, Bill Wyman, Chris Isaak, Bernie Taupin, k.d. lang, Raul Malo, Dwight Yoakum, David Lynch, Martin Sheen, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chet Atkins, Emmylou Harris.

Песен из "Monument" было всего на самом деле 17, остальные 2 ("Claudette" и "Ooby Dooby") относятся к "Sun". Да и записей было более 19, но из известных на сегодняшний момент есть информация только о гитарном джеме "Pretty Paper", минутный фрагмент которого есть на пленке; так же Рой что-то хотел даже из MGM перезаписать. Кстати, "In Dreams" была перезаписана только в 1987, а не в 1985, к фильму "Blue Velvet".
А перезаписывались они и в самом деле из-за банкротства "Монумента", тут Cat Man совершенно прав. Правда, в конце 1987 монумент снова встал на ноги, а в 1989 даже выпустил LP "Rare Orbison". Так что Рой зря опасался. Но задумка тем не менее интересная и некоторые песни вышле лучше оригиналов из 60-х.

Roy Orbison: In Dreams - The Roy Orbison Story (Music Documentary)
Due for release on 03/04/2006

Review
The man. His music. His life.
The ultimate exclusive music documentary of the life of Roy Orbison. It provides in-depth insights into his legendary career with classic performances, personal home movies and photos, location footage and interviews with the great and humble people he touched with music. Famous artists such as Barry Gibb, Robert Plant, Bono, Dwight Yoakam, Raul Malo, K.D. Lang, Robin Gibb and many others provide revealing aspects of his bittersweet life, his incomparable work and his unique genius.
Orbison's remarkable canon of work is tied to the entire life span of rock'n'roll. He scored a string of hits in the '60s and toured with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. But his success was marred by the personal tragedies of the deaths of his wife and two sons. In the '70s he was reduced to playing at clubs until his reputation began to soar. Finally, through the renaissance in the '80s with The Travelling Wilburys, his star shone brightly until his untimely death in 1988.
Includes the classic tracks 'Only The Lonely', 'Singing The Blues', 'Ooby Dooby', 'Rockhouse', 'Claudette', 'Running Scared', 'Crying', 'A Memory That Walks', 'Dream Baby', 'Pretty Woman', 'Mean Angel', 'It's Over', 'Working For The man', 'Blue Bayou', 'That Loving Feelin', 'Wild Hearts Run Out Of Time', 'In Dreams', 'She's A Mystery To Me' and 'You've Got It'.

Legacy plans ambitious Orbison reissue series
Fri Feb 17

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Sony BMG's Legacy Recordings label is embarking on a two-year campaign to release virtually everything Roy Orbison ever recorded. At the same time, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will curate a special exhibit with the help of the rock 'n' roll icon's family.

Legacy's campaign got under way with the February 7 reissue of "Black & White Night," a 1987 star-studded concert that originally aired as an HBO/Cinemax special. Orbison was backed by Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt and k.d. lang, among others, at the show, which took place the year before he died at 52.

Quick on its heels will be the March 28 release of the career-spanning, two-disc compilation "The Essential Roy Orbison." The collection will pull together 40 tracks that originally appeared on Sun, Monument, Virgin, MGM, Warner Bros., Mercury and Def Jam labels, reaching back as far as 1956.

Among the highlights are the early rockabilly cuts "Ooby Dooby" and "Rock House" and such classics as "Blue Bayou," "Only the Lonely," "Oh, Pretty Woman" and "Crying."

This year alone, Legacy will reissue Orbison's entire Sun and Monument catalogs. Titles from the Jewel, MGM and Virgin catalogs will follow. Plans include a remastered version of Orbison's final studio album, 1989's "Mystery Girl" and a DualDisc edition the 1992 Virgin set "King Of Hearts," both originally released by Virgin. The latter posthumous album utilized Orbison's final vocal recordings and was highlighted by a duet with lang on "Crying" that won a Grammy for best country vocal collaboration.

On April 18, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland will open its Orbison exhibit, which will focus on the artist's career and his contribution to the American songbook. Orbison's family has loaned such artifacts as handwritten lyrics, rare records, stage clothing, business documents and photographs to the gallery display. Orbison was inducted into the Rock Hall in 1987.

Supported by his widow, Barbara Orbison, a movement to commemorate the artist with an official U.S. postage stamp has taken off in recent weeks thanks to a bevy of media reports. An online petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/royvote/petition.html) has logged nearly 12,000 signatures.

Orbison, an original
New exhibit at Rock Hall looks at life of early rocker
Tuesday, April 18, 2006
John Soeder
Plain Dealer Pop Music Critic
Think Roy Orbison, and you think - model airplanes?

Actually, the rock 'n' roll icon was an avid builder of miniature aircraft. A model plane from his collection is part of "Haunting & Yearning: The Life and Music of Roy Orbison," a new exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Orbison "was incredibly skilled with his hands," said his widow, Barbara Orbison, who worked with the Rock Hall to put together the retrospective. She'll attend a private reception at the museum tonight.

The exhibit opens to the publice Wednesday.It will be on view at least through the end of the year.

"Roy was a great model builder and a great painter," Barbara said by phone last week from the Nashville, Tenn. offices of Orbison Records.

"He would say, It's my therapy.' He was a student of history, too."

Orbison died of a heart attack in 1988, at the age of 52, two days after a concert at the old Front Row Theater in Highland Heights. The guitar-playing singer-songwriter had been inducted into the Rock Hall one year earlier.

Among the other artifacts on display at the museum:

A copy of Orbison's yearbook from Wink High School in Wink, Texas.

An acetate recording of his first Sun Records single, the 1956 rockabilly hit "Ooby Dooby."

Orbison's annotated lyrics to "She's a Mystery to Me," the ethereal ballad (penned by U2's Bono and the Edge) from which Orbison's final studio album, 1989's "Mystery Girl," took its title.

The Rock Hall also has a pair of Orbison's trademark sunglasses and one of his flashy jumpsuits.

"It's great to see the jumpsuit because everybody thinks Roy was always in black, but he wasn't always in black," Barbara said.

The exhibit coincides with an extensive CD reissue campaign spanning Orbison's discography.

He recorded more than 20 Top 40 hits, mostly in the 1960s, including the chart-topping "Oh, Pretty Woman." Orbison joined forces with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty and the Electric Light Orchestra's Jeff Lynne to form the Traveling Wilburys in the 1980s.

Orbison has been chosen as the honoree for the Rock Hall's 11th annual American Music Masters series. The weeklong salute in early November will include an academic symposium at Case Western Reserve University and an all-star tribute concert.

In the meantime, the exhibit affords "a really personal look" at Orbison, Barbara said.

"Roy had a full life," she said. "He had a dream. And even if you come from a small town, like Roy did, he showed you can make your dreams come true

About Roy Orbison
Roy Orbison possessed one of the great rock and roll voices: a forceful, operatic bel canto tenor capable of dynamic crescendos. He sang heartbroken ballads and bluesy rockers alike, running up a formidable hit streak in the early Sixties. From the release of "Only the Lonely" in 1960 to "Oh! Pretty Woman," a span of four years, Orbison cracked the Top Ten nine times. Orbison's most memorable performances were lovelorn melodramas, such as "Crying" and 'It's Over,'" in which he emoted in a brooding, tremulous voice. The melancholy in his songs resonated with listeners of all ages, but especially heartsick teenagers who knew how it felt to lose in love.

About the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum:

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, a nonprofit museum dedicated to collecting, preserving and interpreting the historical significance of modern music, will honor the legacy of Roy Orbison with an exhibit opening in April. The gallery will feature an intimate display of artifacts directly from the Roy Orbison archives. Handwritten lyrics, rare records, stage clothing, business documents and photographs will illustrate the life and work of one of the most enigmatic performers in rock and roll history.

The Museum is open seven days a week from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Wednesdays the Museum is open until 9:00 p.m. Museum admission is $20.00 for adults, $14.00 for seniors (60+), $11 for children (9-12) and children under 8 and Museum members are free.

В этот день Рою бы исполнилось 70 лет

Вот интересная пластиночка. Вроде обычный бюджетник, а нет - на нем есть две редкие вещи, который вообще при жизни Роя не издвались больше нигде - "Evergreen" и "Love Star". Интересно, о чем думали на "Monument", когда собирали через год альбом "Orbisongs"? Я думаю, что вышеупомянутые треки очень хорошо заменили бы "Legend In My Time" и "22 Days", который уже выходили пластинке "Lonely & Blue".
