In Dreams

His fourth Monument LP, which reached 6 in the UK.
Roy Orbison, 1963

Monument MLP 8003 was issued in stereo and mono. One listing places the sessions at Monument's studio in Hendersonville instead; RCA Studio B is the better supported. It reached 6 in the UK, where it stayed 58 weeks, and 35 on Billboard. Besides the title song it has "Blue Bayou" (Orbison and Joe Melson), which reached 3 in the UK as a single, and covers of "Dream", "All I Have to Do Is Dream", "Beautiful Dreamer" and "My Prayer". AllMusic's Thom Jurek gave 4.5 stars and said the song choices are impeccable; Variety said Orbison swings out nicely on the pop tunes.
