December 5, 2024 Records of the Day

It was Johnny Cash who told his young friend Roy Orbison to call Sam Phillips at Sun Records about a recording contract. Sam took the call but hung up saying, “Johnny Cash doesn’t run my record company.” But Roy’s persistence and raw talent were too strong to ignore and between 1960 and 1964, he placed 22 songs on the Billboard Top 40. Among them is “In Dreams.” In 1963, Monument Records issued the 45, which is worth up to $60.00 with its picture sleeve. The “In Dreams” album can sell for $50.00 in stereo and $100.00 in mono.
