Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Elvis! Comment: This is a GRATE product for any Elvis fan!:) Do not beleve me, take a Hear your self! Customer Rating: Summary: 1st Class Audio, Slightly Missed Opportunity Comment: I have tortured over whether this DVD-A release of Elvis Presley deserves a 4 rating or a 5. It seems a bit unfair to award a 4 though, as it's been beautifully and carefully mixed for 5.1 sound. Apart from that, anyone that releases music on a hi-res format (DVD-A or SACD) deserves to be praised in my opinion. It's high time that the standard CD died out, and made way for these better formats. On the other hand, this release is a bit of a missed opportunity, as it doesn't offer any other audio options, apart from compressed Dolby Digital 5.1 or high definition MLP 5.1. Although this means that anyone with a DVD player can play this disc (something to be praised), why weren't stereo and/or mono options offered? This is exactly what was offered on the superb Beach Boys Pet Sounds DVD-A. Such options surely widen the appeal of these releases, pleasing both those that insist that music should be released in the originally released format, but also offering a new twist for those that like surround mixed music. As mentioned briefly before though, I feel the 5.1 mix has been very subtly arranged, creating a very "delicate" surround feel. What else do you get for your money? Well, the disc comes in a standard CD jewel case, as opposed to the more common DVD-A Super Jewel Box. It appears to have a generic booklet supplied, which would have also been provided with the CD release, and a one sheet sleeve mentioning the benefits of DVD Audio. All the tracks listed by Amazon amount to about 80 minutes of music - which is good. A slight pity that absolutely no video or on screen info is provided about the disc, but at least somebody had the confidence to do a DVD-A release in the first place. We need a lot more hi-res releases!! Customer Rating: Summary: Elvis Cd Comment: Excellent........product arrived quickly and in perfect condition. If you are an Elvis fan, this one is for you. Customer Rating: Summary: The King Rules! --- 100th Review Comment: Welcome my people to my official 100th review on Amazon (although a few were lost in cyberspace along the way). 2 years later and I'm still at it. This Seer must be insane. But, it is funny how it all started. The medium who I channel through knew nothing about reviews but went to the library computer and learned there. His idea was to do reviews but make them unlike anything on here. Unfortunately, he was in control of alot of the earlier reviews under my name. Embarassing I tell you- embarassing. Eventually, that energy of a thought (me!) came into the picture and then I assumed full control. It was then when the reviews got more spice. Also, at that point, various ambassadors and heads of state from foreign countries wrote me and wanted me to accept various honors and gifts. Never one to turn down true fawning - I accepted it all. The rest- as they say-is history. But have no fear, my ego remains down to earth as usual (!) and I remain a staunch defender of the common man (you). But let's get to Elvis, shall we, before they knock down the door and take poor Metamorpho away. I suppose that, in a way, it is unfair how some things pertaining to Elvis have become part of the popular culture. Do we really need another impersonator? Or another movie just for the sake of making money? I can forgive Elvis for all the excesses in his life. Besides, fame made him a puppet - and it's all a shame. Regardless- this collection is very formidable and essential for a number of reasons. One thing is that through the music (especially the early tunes) you can hear the pure sexuality and vocal allure that made him the King. The inflection, the rawness,the snarled lip all suggest an animalistic erotic fantasy. I have to say that Elvis was the master of growling and tenderness, knowing exactly how to sing lyrics distinctly and where to place the vocal emphasis. You don't learn these things. You are born with the gift- as Elvis was. Most of this c.d. contains known hits by Elvis ("Heartbreak Hotel","Hound Dog","Stuck On You") etc. etc. I especially like the early hits- you know the ones- the unrefined ones that alerted you to the power of this amazing artist. However- I am not dismissing his later hits (i.e; "Good Luck Charm","In the Ghetto", "Suspicious Minds") for they, in their own right, extend the belief that there was a part of Elvis (his music) that was always in his heart. I suppose that the production of music became more sophisticated in his lifetime so it's only natural to find it in evidence here. However people - those early songs were the real deal. Is this the most comprehensive collection of Elvis? No. Inevidently, there are some tunes I think are better than ones they included here. (Where is "Little Sister" Elvis? Where is she? Did you break her heart?). And, by the by, that is one killer song he did. But, all in all, this is a pretty decent compilation for the most part- or whatever music could be included on one c.d. Let's be honest - Elvis' archives are so vast I'd have to build a new room in my castle just to contain them. But I suppose it's fair to rate this for what it does include than what it doesn't include. In that- it is stellar and home to many, many, many classics from this man. I choose to remember him as a young man with mega-talent that wasn't allowed to swivel his hips on Ed Sullivan rather than the later Vegas Elvis who was given in to excess and on the down swing of his career. The vision of that early guy is the real treasure-and worth remembering through time. Elvis still remains the King- in this or any other era. Get this. A great and essential addition to your classic rock collection. Tell them Metamorpho sent ya. ;) In closing, I want to thank Amazon in helping me achieve this milestone. It is through their generosity that Metamorpho is allowed to exist and write reviews in his odd and sometimes twisted way (but always informative Amazon!). Ideas, thoughts, creativity are things to be shared with others. Given the ability to do this with freedom is a gift. I have met alot of interesting and unique people who, in their own way, add a spark of life to me as I hope I do to them. O.K. O.K. I better get off this podium because they are starting to throw stuff! Happy 100 people! Thank-you, thank-you very much--(with snarled lip) your, Metamorpho Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: I bought this for my 7 year old daughter to wake up to. She fell in love with Elvis' music from the Lilo & Stitch album and she now knows the words to many of The King's most famous songs. We are very happy with this product. More Reviews
