Laminer Flow didn't have the Roy Orbison "sound", instrumentation was way different. Overall, the album was unsettling to listen to in spite of Roy's, as alway, great voice.. He did record one excellent album in 1969 for MGM that should have been a big seller called THE MANY MOODS of ROY ORBISON. It contained many potential hits such as (I Recommend Her, Heartache, Truly Truly True) not to mention Unchained Melody, which in my opinion is the best version of the song every done.

Everyone did everyone else's song up into the early 70s...

However after this album's undeserved failure Roy lost his confidence in songwriting and Regeneration lacked a single Orbison composition while Laminar Flow just used songs Roy wrote for The Living Lege.d movie. It wouldn't be until 1988 with some assistance from Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty... when he got his confidence in song-writing back.

A very underrated album. Both Orbison biographers claim that it was his worst album. I would say this was actually one of his better albums. Perhaps it lacks an obvious stand-out track (for me it's Still but Mercury obviously thought it was Sweet Mama Blue) but the quality is very high on all 11 songs. From 1969-1973 Roy had been struggling to write music as he had been overworked by MGM but here in 1974 Roy was back to his best with new ideas after a much needed break...

A fantastic song and definitely the best song of the 1975 album of the same name. If they had only released Still as the main single in the UK and USA as well instead of Sweet Mama Blue then the album might have been a bigger hit.

Cover records were a common practice in the music industry from it's beginnings to the '50's. All the labels rushed out their own versions and everyone competed for top spot. Pop artists competed with other pop artists, R&B with Pop, Country with Pop, R&B with R&B etc. Most decent songs had to contend with many cover versions, it's simply the way things were done. The 1954 Pop song, "Let Me Go Lover" had about 8 or 9 versions out at the same time and this was common.

When Pat Boone ripped off Little Richard by recording either TUTTI FRUTTI or LONG TALL SALLY two weeks after Little Richard issued his version on record, that's a COVER record. When Elvis Presley did THE WONDER OF YOU thirty years after Ray Peterson did the original version on RCA, that's a remake. REMAKES are fine and honorable, very often a tribute to the original version. COVERS are usually an attempt to steal someone else's song away by rushing it out to the market.
