RELEASE DATE: 3rd November, 2017

Like the two Elvis collections that came before it, A Love So Beautiful  is produced by Don Reedman and Nick Patrick.  The album combines the elegant and spirited arrangements of Roy’s best original vocal performances with the emotion and world-class musicianship of London’s most beloved orchestra. A Love So Beautiful features the timeless Roy tracks “Oh, Pretty Woman”, “You Got It”, “Crying” and more while breathing new life into fan favorites such as “Drove All Night” and the title track “A Love So Beautiful” making for a beautiful exploration into the mastery of Roy’s vocals.

Additionally, the album will feature instrumental backing from “Roy’s boys”: his three sons Wesley, Roy Jr. and Alex; plus Roy’s grandson Roy Orbison III. The spiritual collaboration between three generations of Orbisons makes A Love So Beautiful a truly special experience, not just for fans, but for Roy’s sons as well. Having never had the opportunity to record with their father in his lifetime, this collaboration makes for an emotional homecoming for Wesley, Roy Jr., Alex and Roy III.

The material covered on A Love So Beautiful is vast, ranging from the Sun Records era of Roy’s career as a rockabilly musician in the 1950s (“Ooby Dooby”), through his early-mid 60s material on the Monument label where he hit his first commercial peak (“In Dreams,” “Blue Angel,” “Crying,” “Dream Baby,” “I’m Hurtin’,” “It’s Over,” “Mean Woman Blues,” “Only the Lonely,” “Oh, Pretty Woman,” “Love Hurts,” “Uptown”) up to his comeback in the late 80s before his untimely passing (“You Got It,” “I Drove All Night,” “A Love So Beautiful”).

Crying is the second album released by Roy Orbison in 1962. It was also his second album on the Monument record label. The album name comes from the 1961 hit song of the same name that in 2002 was honored with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. In 2004, the song ranked #69 on Rolling Stone Magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". This release features remastered audio and 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

In Dreams is the third record from Roy Orbison on Monument Records, recorded at its studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee and released in 1963. The album is named for the hit 45rpm single. In 2004 Rolling Stone named the song "In Dreams" one of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. This release features remastered audio and 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

Lonely And Blue is Roy Orbison's first album, released in 1961. The album was not only a breakthrough for Orbison as his debut LP, but also for Rock & Roll. Up to that point, apart from Elvis Presley - who was in a class by himself - few white rock & rollers had even tried to make as bold a use of the LP as what we hear on this record. This release features remastered audio and 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Roy Orbison's ‘Mystery Girl’, Sony Music Australia will release a special edition vinyl edition of the album packed with the original album appended by unreleased bonus tracks, including studio demos and the previously unheard song “The Way Is Love”, based on a long-lost demo featuring new instrumentation from Orbison’s children, Wesley, Roy Jr. and Alex, and John Carter Cash, son of Orbison’s longtime friend Johnny Cash

Now, for the first time since its appearance in the Monument Vinyl Box, this is what would have been Roy's fourth Monument album: Oh! Pretty Woman, the missing Monument masterpiece. Made up of songs recorded late in his Monument career and carefully selected by Roy's boys - his sons Wesley, Roy Kelton, and Alex Orbison - this album features specially created artwork so that it looks just as it would have in 1964, had Roy not left Monument. The lost album from 1964 is now available with remastered audio on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.
