Product Details

"Orion Reborn" usually refers to the 1979 debut studio album by the mysterious masked singer Orion, whose real name was Jimmy Ellis. The album is famous for fueling a wild rumor that Elvis Presley had faked his own death because Ellis's voice sounded exactly like the King's. Why Orion Reborn matters: The Mystery: The album's marketing played heavily on the idea that Elvis was still alive and singing behind a "Phantom of the Opera" style half-mask. The Record: Released on the iconic Sun Records label, the ten-track record blends pop, rock, and country. It features soulful tracks like Honey and Mona Lisa. The Legacy: The album sparked a huge trend of 1970s "Ghost Acts". The original 1979 release—often pressed on limited Special Collector's Edition Gold Vinyl—is highly sought after by record collectors today.
