While I agree with Stewart that the CBS-compilation is the disc to 
get it has to be said that CBS completely ruined the original masters 
on this complation. Rhino had a famous compilation out which was done 
by Bill Inglot: "For the Lonely: 18 Greatest Hits" . Maybe people 
more in the know about 60's recordings reissues like Billy Spradlin
can provide some more info but the incredible recordings from his 
MONUMENT-period have never been done justice by CBS soundwise.
I happen to find that the 1987 re-recordings are inessential but not 
bad at all, however potential buyers should be warned on the CD-
booklet/case etcetera.
One last recommendation: 
always listen to Roy's mini-opera's with the lights out, like the 
BOSS does. 
cheers Robert Kok from Holland (where Roy always was extremely 
popular.)
