Where many of his peers sold swagger, he sold heartbreak, with operatic melodies that climbed and climbed until his voice broke into that famous upper register. This collection lays out the A-sides alongside their flips, so the hits sit beside the B-sides that fans often love just as much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Only the Lonely\" set the template, a pleading ballad cushioned by doo-wop backing vocals and strings. \"Crying\" remains one of the most devastating performances in pop, building from a hush to a full emotional collapse. \"In Dreams\" drifts through an unusual structure that never repeats a section, like a half-remembered dream, and \"Oh, Pretty Woman\" swaps tears for a rock and roll strut and that unmistakable growl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThirty-nine songs give a remarkably full picture of an artist at his peak, balancing lush ballads with his rockabilly roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a limited Dutch import, this set offers a striking way to hear Orbison as his first audiences did, one single at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269573550385,"sku":"8719262043961","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Roy_Orbison-The_Monument_Singles_Collection_1960-1964_2LP_Gold_Holland_Import_e5370e54-96c2-45f8-8239-875ed6065099.jpg?v=1793641568","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/roy-orbison-the-monument-singles-collection-1960-1964-2lp-gold-holland-import","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
