Album Notes
IN DREAMS: GREATEST HITS features 1985 re-recordings of Orbison's hits.
Personnel: Roy Orbison (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars); Sid Page (strings); Tommy Morgan (harmonica); David Woodford (saxophone); Dennis Belfield (bass); Paul Leim (drums); Robert Irving (synthesizer programming); Carol Parks, Jim Haas, Gene Morford, Jon Joyce, Joe Chemay, Linda Dillard (background vocals).
Producers: Michael Utley, Roy Orbison, T-Bone Burnett, David Lynch.
Recorded at Record One, Sherman Oaks, California.
With 2 LPs worth of music on 1 CD, IN DREAMS is a greatest-hits collection, but not of the original recordings. All of these tracks were re-recorded in 1985. The version of "In Dreams" included here was recorded in 1987 by Orbison, T-Bone Burnett and David Lynch for the latter's movie "Blue Velvet." And while these are not the original hits, the musicianship and production values on IN DREAMS should appeal to Orbison fans and newcomers alike.
Personnel: Roy Orbison (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Dean Parks (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Sid Page (strings); Tommy Morgan (harmonica); David Woodford (saxophone); Michael Utley (keyboards); Paul Leim (drums); Jon Joyce , Jim Haas, Carole Parks, Linda Dillard, Gene Morford, Rita Coolidge, Joe Chemay (background vocals).
Audio Mixer: Richard Bosworth.
Liner Note Author: Bruce Springsteen.
Recording information: Los Angeles, CA (??/1985-04/1987); Record One, Sherman Oaks, CA (??/1985-04/1987).
Photographers: James Schnepf; Glen Erler.
Arranger: Michael Utley.
The sound on this 2004 remastered version of the 1963 Monument release is superb, and the newfound clarity heightens the sweeping drama inherent to the material on IN DREAMS. Roy Orbison's tremulous, vulnerable voice is in top form here on these narratives of loneliness and lost love. The rich, symphonic arrangements are heavy on mood and atmosphere, and--as in all of his work--the combination of strings, angelic backing vocals, and Orbison's own impassioned performances is strangely powerful and affecting.
The spectacular title track (sure to strike a chord with fans of David Lynch's surreal film BLUE VELVET, which features the song in a bizarre sequence) leads off, and is followed by other excellent cuts, including "Lonely Wine" and "House without Windows." Orbison's skill with crafting exquisitely gorgeous melodies is in clear evidence, particularly on "Beautiful Dreamer" and the pop masterpiece "Blue Bayou." Melancholic and aurally enveloping, IN DREAMS offers the full-album experience missing from Orbison's hits collections, making it a unique, indispensable slice of pop heaven.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- Orbison condensed Greek tragedy into succinct pop operas....Magnificent.
