I purchased this CD because I saw that it had YOU GOT IT, Roy's late '80s comeback hit, packaged together with the older classics. This CD turned out to be a total disaster. All the tracks are non-original versions, either terrible remixes or live versions (of course the record company fails to mention this anywhere on the packaging). The new versions included here are aweful. They sound nothing like the original (familiar) versions, and instead like they were recorded on a karaoke machine or else by some terrible second-rate wedding band. Avoid at all costs!

One of the best of many Roy Orbison cd's, even though some has been rerecorded or remastered as it was,easily worth the price.

To say that this cd is horrible and sounds like karaoke is ridiculous. Just listen to the sound clips above. Yes, some of these are re-recordings (but others ARE the originals)... but with Roy Orbison, this is a good thing. It is widely believed by Roy's fans that his voice actually became even better as ge got older (listen to his last album, Mystery Girl, for proof of this). Now, that being said -- I think you'd get a better view of Roy by purchasing: Mystery Girl, In Dreams: The Greatest Hits of Roy Orbison and King of Hearts. Listen to those 3 and... if you're not already, you WILL BE a Roy Orbison fan! ...just turn out the lights and sit by yourself as you listen.

Featuring "You got it" and "Walk on" and a prevously unrealeased solo version of his Grammy award winning song "That loving you feeling again" which is worth the purchase price alone. Get DVD version as well some differences in tracks and features "wild hearts run out of time" from the film Insignificance.
