Milestones is the eighteenth album by Roy Orbison, released on September 24, 1973 on MGM Records and his last album for that label. It was arranged by Joe Tanner, Rex North and Randy Goodrum. "The Morning After" was featured in the film The Poseidon Adventure.
Roy Orbison had been disillusioned with his MGM contract which he signed in July 1965 as certain albums were not coming out globally and MGM and London Records gave up paying his record advance of one million dollars. After recording the album in June 1973, he left the label and would never commmit to a long term contract again. Milestones only received a US release due to Decca releasing Orbison from his contract. The album had two singles: "I Wanna Live" and "Blue Rain (Coming Down)", neither of which charted.
