A look back at the year’s best reissues
Deluxe reissues have become a big part of the record business. This past year was no exception. As we welcome a new year today, here’s a look back at my picks for 2014’s best reissues:
NEW VINYL ALERT! ROY ORBISON “AT THE ROCK HOUSE”
NEW!
Roy Orbison “At The Rockhouse” Vinyl Sun Record Company Re-issue
From Org Music:
“At The Rock House is the first full length album by Roy Orbison, recorded in 1956 but not released until 1961 by Sun Records. The record showcases Roy Orbison’s early work, which falls somewhere between the rock & roll that was happening in mid 50’s and the more lush, dramatic sound that he later perfected. This limited edition run of 3,000 will be available in white, red, and silver color vinyl, randomly selected and shipped to stores. Each copy will be individually hand numbered.”
Track list:
1. “This Kind of Love”
2. “Devil Doll”
3. “You’re My Baby”
4. “Trying To Get To You”
5. “It’s Too Late”
6. “Rock House”
7. “You’re Gonna Cry”
8. “I Never Knew”
9. “Sweet and Easy to Love”
10. “Mean Little Mama”
11. “Ooby Dooby”
12. “Problem Child”
