Help Me Find A Decent Best Of Roy Orbison :(

My Dad's birthday is coming up, and hes asked for David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars on CD, though a record deck would be more useful has he has it on LP :rolleyes:

... but anyway, I've got that one covered, but had a think of what else to get him, and I thought i'd also look at getting him Roy Orbisons Greatest Hits stylee CD too.

However, theres about a million versions, each with different recordings etc etc, and im at a loss as to which will have either the original single recordings, or good remasters/recordings (as reading, it seems the originals arent available due to the label going bust years ago?).

Any advice ? CD catalogue number would be appreciated.

Thanks :cool:

This one will have everything on it he will know. I also have a 3cd version but the single will be enough.
Beware of one recently released called In Dreams The Greatest Hits because its live and one of the worst recordings I've ever heard.
