Early Orbison is an album recorded by Roy Orbison on the Monument Records label at the RCA Studio B[1] in Nashville, Tennessee, and released in 1964. Essentially a compilation of songs from his first two Monument albums, it is most noteworthy for containing "Pretty One", the "B" side of Orbison's second Monument single, "Uptown". Many Orbison fans believe "Pretty One" would have been his first major hit had it been promoted as an "A" side. The second song of interest on this album is "Come Back to Me My Love" which Fred Foster, owner of Monument Records and producer of all of Orbison's earliest hits, says was the song which inspired production of the hit arrangement that later became "Only the Lonely".
The album debuted on the Billboard Top LPs chart in the issue dated October 17 that year and remained on the chart for 11 weeks, peaking at number 101.[2] It reached No. 58 on the Cashbox albums chart where it spent there for 11 weeks.[3]
