Re-release of Orbison’s fantastic 1989 album, augmented with five studio
outtakes. Bittersweet and haunting music!
1 – (3:30) You Got It* Orbison’s hit, fantastic!
2 – (3:40) In The Real World* Burning & soaring vocals, lovely.
3 – (3:35) Dream You* Up-tempo shuffle, nicely done.
4 – (3:32) A Love So Beautiful Pretty crooner, a bit overproduced.
5 – (3:55) California Blue Another mid-tempo crooner, decent.
6 – (4:15) She’s A Mystery To Me* Awesome track, passionate vocals.
7 – (3:22) The Comedians Bitter breakup song, fine.
8 – (3:45) The Only One* Another heartbreak hit, very fine.
9 – (3:58) Windsurfer* Fine surfing anthem, inspiring.
10 – (4:03) Careless Heart* Soaring Orbison vocals carry this one.
11 – (4:07) The Way Is Love Just so-so, from a cassette recording.
12 – (4:38) She’s A Mystery To Me* Studio demo, spare & powerful.
13 – (5:12) The Only One* Another studio demo gem.
14 – (4:32) California Blue* Studio demo, Roy’s voice, wow!
15 – (2:34) Are You My Love* Very fine love ballad.
