You Shouldn't Be Running Scared of this Masterpiece Album.
Advantages: Littered With Monumentally Great Songs
Disadvantages: 3 of his best Songs are not on the album (see review for details)
Surely the world's greatest ever Tenor, Roy Kelton Orbison was born in Vernon, Texas in 1936 and sadly passed away at the age of 52 having suffered a heart attack. As a singer-songwriter and very gifted guitarist his musical legacy can not be underestimated. This 20 track album (all on 1 CD) is mainly an album of heartfelt powerful ballads with some Rock ‘n Roll style songs thrown in.. The album does not include "You Got It", "Ooby Dooby" and "I ...
...tracks "Running Scared", “Love Hurts” "Crying", “Blue Bayou”, "Only The Lonely" and "In Dreams". His style is in effect an incredible marriage between operatic tenor and drum, base and guitar band which I can not think of any equivalent example of in music history. He had an exceptional two and a half octave range voice and a year and a half after his death was inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame. A flimsy 2 page album sleeve doesn't do justice ...

A String of Pseudo Pearls
Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits
Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now
...on soul music. A String of Pearls Going back to my dad’s old Sanyo radio cassette recorder there was a song which was oft played by myself back in 1974 called “Guilty”. Performed by the Pearls I loved it and have vague recollections of a Top of the Pops performance which incorporated judges’ wigs. I have hunted high and low for this clip on the internet and sadly can only conclude it was wiped, as so many “Top of the Pops” episodes were prior ...
...that their compilation CD “A String of Pearls” had to be worth a punt if only to reminisce about my childhood. The album has 24 tracks, including all singles and B-sides the girls recorded. To the best of my knowledge the Pearls never released an album in the seventies so there are no obvious “album tracks” but there are several curiosities if you are familiar with music from the early 1970s. The overall sound is of close harmonies and pseudo Phil ...

Brilliant!!!
Advantages: MOst creative thing I've heard in a long time!
Disadvantages: I wish there were more songs!
Brilliant!!! This whole concept is amazing! The Sex Presleys take some of Elvis' best songs, rearrange them, and play them as if the Sex Pistols would have played them. It's a bizarre and fantastic mix that rocks even harder than the Sex Pistols did... really! I've been grabbing for this cd over my "Never Mind the Bullocks" for the past few weeks. "Teddy Bear" takes "Anarchy in the UK" and makes it move and rock way harder than the Pistols ever did. ...
...with "Pretty Vacant" for what I think is the best song on the disc. It starts out with a huge sounding version of "Pretty Vacant" then launchers you into a wild Elvis ride that you have to listen to again and again.
"Heartbreak Hotel" is layered over "God Save the Queen" and works so incredibly well that I wouldn't even believe that the two were separate songs and the Sex Presleys version was a weird cover if I wasn't familiar with the material.
