Reviews Customer Reviews for The All Time Greatest Hits Of Roy Orbison      Great Addition To Your Music Collection-Much Better than the DDC Version!      Rating:      Just received my copy and right away I wanted to compare it to my several year old DCC version. This new release tops it in everyway, everything stands out more, Roy, background vocals and the bass is tight and clean. The DCC comes across as I always felt dull, veiled and noisy sounding mush like the DCC release of Elvis is Back (buy the FTD version). DCC has a sound to their release and most have a veil over the production, dullness if you will. The Sound is open and clean, yet holds enough musical warmth and body; Mobile did a nice job with the balance across the musical spectrum. I will say the DDC version Roy voice sounds a bit warmer due to the production that keeps everything on the warm, warm side. Having owned the LP of this CD, I can tell you the Mobile nails it much better then the DCC did, and I enjoyed owning the DCC due to just being able to own the release. Great find and I am very glad this album was released again, the Sony Essential collection does not hold a candle to this release, these are the original songs from a classic singer and this truly is a classic release worth your purchasing dollars. Buy it, sit back and enjoy!     Customer Reviews for The All Time Greatest Hits Of Roy Orbison Cd      "I want that one" - no standard discs any more, thanks      Rating:      Superlative quality! You all know the songs; it's just a question of what quality this CD is. Well, I couldn't believe the difference between this and my standard Big O CDs eg. the Rhino release "For The Lonely". I always thought that was good quality. Now I can directly compare. What a revelation. This sound is richer, deeper, louder - yet softer around the edges (that analogue feel) - while having far better clarity. Vocals are more pure, especially when played loud. It's as simple as this: once you hear this, you're expectations of a CD are likely to change forever. The value for money equation is overwhelming. Instead of regarding gold etc discs as being only for special albums I now regard this quality as being my buying objective and I only buy "normal" CDs when this quality is not available - and then very reluctantly. Cut down on something else! All these years buying "normal" CDs without realising what a huge quality difference there can be. As my son pointed out, for ~$30, we got a quality improvement that would take thousands of $ in hifi upgrade to achieve. I'm now searching far and wide to upgrade as much of my collection as I can.
