In Dreams: The Greatest Hits is a music album of Roy Orbison songs released in 1987 on Virgin Records. The two-record set was produced by Roy Orbison and Mike Utley except for the song "In Dreams" which was produced by Orbison with T Bone Burnett and film director, David Lynch. All songs are new recordings by Orbison from 1985, except for the song "In Dreams", which was recorded in April of 1987.
The original 1960s versions of these songs were hit records for Orbison when recorded on Monument Records from 1960 to 1964, with two exceptions. The first exception, "Ooby Dooby", was a hit for Orbison on Sun Records in 1956. "Claudette", the second exception, was a song Orbison wrote that became a hit for The Everly Brothers in 1958. Orbison himself didn't record "Claudette" until he had signed with MGM Records in 1965 -- ironically, a few months after he had divorced his wife Claudette, who had inspired the song. (They later reconciled in 1966, before her death in a motorcycle accident.)
The album contains four songs named by Rolling Stone in 2004 on its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."
