Bring on the queso.......2005-08-30
You definitely have to be of a particular mind set to appreciate the dulcet tones of Chris Montez. Yes, he carried the gauntlet (or is that margarita glass) passed to him by Ritchie Valens. Yes, "Let's Dance" was on the Animal House soundtrack, which I used to hear at frat parties in the mid 80's. Yes, John Lennon got mad at him for some reason and dumped a beer on his head. Yes, Deke Dickerson's old surf band Untamed Youth did a cover of Chris' "Some Kinda Fun." Is it so wrong for me to drive around Nashville in a 1986 Oldsmobile with my windows down, singing at the top of my lungs along with "Time After Time?" Is it wrong for me to remember a particularly "special" moment associated with Chris' version of "There'll Never Be Another You?" Listening to the A&M recordings, you almost feel like you're right there at the party at some swanky tiki looking club, clapping along and pounding down tequila. Chris Montez helped to make lounge music cool. If only someday, I can see him perform in Vegas, I will be a happy chiquita.
Very original sound!.......2003-04-05
Ok, first, I have to say, this man is my Uncle (I know him as "Uncle Zeke" for Ezekiel). So, anything I say is biased. But here goes anyway... Uncle Zeke has a very original voice and songs like "Call Me", "The More I See You", and "I Ran" are simply fantastic. No, he's nothing like Ritchie Valens and I don't think he ever wanted to be. He was a solo artist from the 60's who happened to be hispanic - so everyone drew up comparisons. But listen to his music. A hint of the Beach Boys in the early years and something sounding completely original in the latter part of his career. Nothing like Valens. And he was very original. You should buy it.
Some Kinda Fun!.......2000-11-06
This was a great overview of Chris Montez's career."Let's Dance" is one of the greatest rock'n roll songs ever recorded.To be honest,I preferred Chris's early rockin' stuff more than his later jazzy pop period.Don't get me wrong,I love "Call Me"and "The More I See You",but 10 songs in a row in the same style got a little repetitious.All in all,though,a great tribute to a guy who carried on the Ritchie Valens tradition of Rockin' good songs!
Nice representation of Chris Montez' career.......2000-05-04
This compilation of the two phases of Chris Montez' career was a welcome find, since no domestic CD existed and his LPs have been out of print for years. The Monogram cuts (1962-1964) showcase his phase as a protege of Richie Valens or aspiring Latin rocker. I've always enjoyed the organ part on "Let's Dance," which compensates for a relatively weak vocal. The A&M phase (1965-1968) is well represented, although there was ample space on the disc for more songs. The party atmosphere of these recordings, plus the instrumental work of Julius Wechter and Pete Jolly, compliment Montez' vocal style well, resulting in a satisfying and upbeat effect. What makes this package really special is the thorough and well organized biographical and recording history notes. This information is valuable because the LPs lacked complete credits. What we really need now are reissues of Chris' A&M albums THE MORE I SEE YOU-CALL ME, TIME AFTER TIME, FOOLIN' AROUND, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS and CARTAS DE AMOR. All are late 60s except the latter, sung in Spanish and issued in 1983 on A&M Discos (Mexico).

Amazon.com essential recording
It's a measure of Roy Orbison's classics that even some of the uptempo songs that break up the dominant balladic mood of this 20-song collection are themselves fairly melancholic. Rarely does Orbison allow himself the outright celebration of something like "Mean Woman Blues," more often going for the shades of gray that slip into "Blue Angel" and "Leah." Few could do what he achieves on these singles, and not just because few are gifted with such a voice. The biggest achievement of all may be Orbison's ability to make a devastated cry like "Only the Lonely" sound somehow peaceful. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews:
Great sounds from the Best.......2007-07-25
This CD brought back lots of good memories. Roy Orbison was one of the Greats, Saw him in person years ago and will never forget the great voice he had. I recommend buying this CD
Best 1 disc Orbison collection.......2007-05-27
This is the best single disc collection of Roy Orbison's Monument hits. It was originally released on 2 LPs in the early 80's. One thing I've always wondered about is that this 20 track CD has always been also available as 2 separate volumes with 10 tracks each & having the same cover artwork (you'd have to be careful to read the list of tracks on the back) Why?? If someone is an Orbison fan why would they want one volume & not the other? Why not just have all 20 tracks on one CD, as it is done here? Also, one reviewer asks why "You Got It" isn't here,well it's because that song wasn't even recorded yet when this album was released, and that song was on Virgin Records,not Monument.
It is Roy Orbison.......2007-03-29
What more can be said? Roy Orbison has a quality of voice that can't be duplicated. One of the few really original and great voices.
Sound is good.......2007-03-21
I would like to suggest, contrary to the review of Aug 2006, that the sound on this nice collection of Roy Orbison's Monument hits, is actually quite good.
With the puzzling exception of the song LOVE HURTS, which seems to have been mastered from a very muffled tape.
This Sony disk was issued in 1989, and has not been re-mastered since then, so you're getting a relatively unfutzed edition for a nominal price.
All time greatest Hits of Roy Orbison.......2007-01-10
Love this CD. Just what I ezpected and wanted. Would recommend it to my friends.

Not Bad..........2000-12-23
...but not great either. It does bring back memories of my high school years. Not always a good thing. These are songs you know. They are fun to hear again, and will draw a smile out of you when you do.

Customer Reviews:
*Mostly* Good Music ;).......2000-06-15
This isn't marked as a late 70's or early 80's collection, but that's essentially what it is. These are songs anyone alive back then can sing with ("Don't Look Back," "Want You To Want Me"), or at least will recognize if you can't place the name ("Just Between You And Me").
Perhaps what makes this such a great collection is that it's got some songs that are "underrated hits"--that are consistently requested on classic rock radio stations, but are hard to find on CD--such as "Lunatic Fringe" and "Never Been Any Reason." (Those are, in fact, why I bought this CD.)
However, I could live without Loverboy. I think we could ALL live without Loverboy. ;)
Anyhow... That being said, the sound quality is *not* the best, but if you're just looking for the music, or something to keep in the car for those long commutes, you'll do well with this. Hoochie Koo, rock fans. :)
