NewsRoy Orbison / Black and White Night 30
Amazingly, it has been 30 years since Roy Orbison‘s 1987 television ‘comeback’ show A Black & White Night. To mark the occasion ‘Roy’s Boys’ – Alex Orbison and Roy Orbison Jnr – have gone back to the source footage and audio and re-edited, remastered and, if you are feeling fanciful, ‘re-imagined’ the television special, to create an expanded audio/visual document that will be available on CD/Blu-ray or CD/DVD in February.
The concert – filmed at Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles – was shot using seven separate cameras and there were hundreds of hours of footage that went unused and unseen. Roy’s youngest son Alex has gone back to this source material and, with the help of co-editor Luke Chalk, re-edited to reflect the correct set order as seen by those who attended the show.
Additionally, bonus features include an unseen (and unheard) alternate version of Orbison’s biggest hit Oh, Pretty Woman and a previously unseen Blue Angel.
Also new to Black & White 30 is a post-show ‘secret concert’ of five songs. It features alternate takes of Dream You, Comedians, Candyman, Claudette, and Uptown. This was filmed so it appears on the Blu-ray (or DVD) and the audio is offered to purchasers via download code (groan). All tracks (show, secret concert and alt versions) have been remastered by Richard Dodd.
As well as the full show and this secret concert, the blu-ray/DVD features a brand new 33-minute documentary which includes rehearsal footage and pre and post show interviews with the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello, along with a photo gallery.
Black & White Night 30 is available on CD+Blu-ray or CD+DVD and will be issued on 24 February 2017.
