Orbison Box Set

Reader Reviews
The breadth of Orbison's talent was not evident until I heard all of these songs. Before buying this set, I had the 4 disc box and a collection of his Sun material. What I had missed was the great Teen Kings material, and the dozens of Monument songs that cannot be found elsewhere. What I had also missed was the clarity...all too often too much is made about sound improvements but when it comes to the nature of Orbison's operatic middle-period songs, the dramatic improvements Bear Family Records were able to bring out are noticable and very welcome. Included with the seven CDs (covering his start in 1955 through his stay with Monument in 1965) is a hardcover book with the typical Bear Family reproductions, fantastic photos, and an enjoyable essay by Colin Escott. I own many Bear Family Records box sets. This company is the standard-bearer in quality and yet among all the sets I have this one stands alone as the most beautifully produced. If you are more than a casual/curious Rob Orbison fan, you could do yourself a big favor and get this set!
