Is this the part of the Sony/Legacy Roy Orbison Remaster project? Amazon has it listed for October 30 release, but not details are provided. Any further information?

Clarified thread title to include the King Of Hearts remaster. ~ Linda

I haven't heard about this, but I do hope it will include the rare song "You May Feel Me Crying". This song was included on the "The End of Violence" soundtrack, but I don't know if it was actually recorded during the Mystery Girl sessions or for the King of Hearts sessions. I think Brian Eno produced the song, but I know no other details. It is a fantastic song.

Both "Mystery Girl" and "King Of Hearts" are being remastered with bonus tracks and are due Oct. 23 the last I saw. Legacy is handling these so they should be fine.

Expanded but... only one bonus track for each CD remaster.
P&P lists Oct. 30 as the release date.


Roy Orbison expanded remasters:

• "Mystery Girl"
(1989 album; with bonus track "You May Feel Me Crying" from the soundtrack to Wim Wenders' "The End of Violence")
Orbison/Legacy, Oct. 30, 2007

Although it had been years since his last recording, Roy Orbison was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. Perhaps as a result of the newfound interest in his music, he was invited to record with the supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. Roy Orbison had a renewed sense of purpose, and also began recording material for a new solo album. Collaborating with Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, Roy Orbison recreates the feel of his old recordings while sounding modern. His voice sounds as strong as ever, and he is still able to hit the high notes that convey a sad, lonely ache. The highlight of the album is "She's a Mystery to Me," a haunting ballad penned by U2's Bono and the Edge that perfectly plays to all of Orbison's strengths as a singer. Released in the months after his death, Mystery Girl was the highest-charting album of his career and spawned the hit "You Got It" -- it is a shame that Orbison was not around to experience his success. This comeback album represents Roy Orbison at his best.

The posthumously released King of Hearts collects a handful of Orbison's final vocal tracks along with a few demos and non-LP singles, including the Jeff Lynne-produced "Heartbreak Radio." The highlight, however, is an amazing duet of "Crying" recorded with k.d. lang. (All Music Guide)

Love in Time
I Drove All Night

Both of these albums had excellent material. I purchased a couple disc European compliation a few years (released this decade) from Virgin I think. It had You may feel me crying which is also excellent, and it was obvious that is was from that period, but I had no idea where it was from. That said, I look forward to getting getting these remastered discs.
