Crying/ In Dreams

Originally released on Monument 447. Note how far this single is near the top of Dave Marsh's list of the 1,001 great singles of Rock'n'Soul. You'd think owning position #103 would be a big achievement for any artist... or at least, I would. But in the case of Orbison, you'd be wrong. Position 103 is only in the middle of the 7 songs that represent him in that total of 1,001. Ahead of "Crying" are three songs in the Top 100: \r\n
    \r\n
  1. Only The Lonely (#17)\r\n
  2. Oh Pretty Woman (#39), and\r\n
  3. In Dreams (#66)
\r\n

The three songs that follow "Crying" in Marsh's list?\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Running Scared (#323)\r\n
  2. Blue Bayou (#403), and\r\n
  3. It's Over (#999)
\r\nFantastic pairing showing off two great hits by this amazing icon! The labels have some storage wear grading Near Mint.\r\n
