THE DEFINITIVE DRIFTERS... ATLANTIC / WARNER.

Tracks played.....
Dance with me /  This magic moment /  Save the last dance for me / I count the tears.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING ROY ORBISON'S NEW ALBUM. 22ND MAY 2019.


A LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL....SONY....ROY ORBISON. THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA.

tracks played...
In dreams / Crying / Oh pretty woman / It's over / I drove all night.


Personally, i think this album seldon improves on the original recordings without
the Philharmonic. Occasionally it can improve the feel of a song in places, and I have
to admit the joining together of the original songs with the orchestra is not noticable .
The sound and clarity is there which helps a high volume Hi-Fi.********.
