Regeneration is the 20th album by Roy Orbison. According to the authorised Roy Orbison biography, the album was released in November 1976. It marked the return to Monument Records where he had launched his greatest successes over fifteen years earlier where he released some of his greatest hits. However, it would be a one-time only rekindling of the business relationship as Orbison, not happy with the material he was given to record, asked Fred Foster to annul his contract – which he did.
