| Roy Orbisonin dreams the greatest hits
In Dreams: The Greatest Hits is a two-record album set of Roy Orbison songs released in 1987 on Virgin Records. It was produced by Orbison and Mike Utley, except for the song "In Dreams", produced by Orbison with T-Bone Burnett and film director David Lynch. All songs are new recordings by Orbison from 1986, except "In Dreams" from April 1987. The original 1960s versions of these songs were hit records for Orbison when recorded on Monument Records from 1960 to 1964, with two exceptions. The first exception, "Ooby Dooby", was a hit for Orbison on Sun Records in 1956. "Claudette", the second exception, was a song Orbison wrote that became a hit for the Everly Brothers in 1958. Orbison didn't record the latter exception until he had signed with MGM Records in 1965, a few months after he had divorced his wife Claudette, who had inspired the song. (They later reconciled and remarried in 1966, before her death in a motorcycle accident). The album contains four songs named by Rolling Stone in 2004 on its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". - WIKIPEDIA

Orbison's voice was grand to the end, and the arrangements are faithful, but none of these match the power of the originals.

Audiophile Audition
2014 - The digital reproduction is excellent. The flatness of early sixties technology is replaced with crisp stereo separation and centered mixing. Roy Orbison In Dreams – Greatest Hits is a lyrical reminder of what a musical pioneer is.
