Customer Rating:
Summary: Better sounding!
Comment: The disc sounds much better than most of the re-released, remastered, etc... stuff BMG has put out in the 80's and 90's!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best Jewish Singer Since Sinatra
Comment: Elvis, who was a young Jewish singer from the heart of Israel in the 50's, although some say he is still living in the USA today, has been accepted with worldwide acclaim (except in Mongolia) and he has surpassed his numerous "hits" packages and written entirely new "old" material in this latest album from the Mega-Star. Hits include the beautiful but sporadic, "In my Pants", "Passion Thong", "Elba and You" and the dance hit, "When She Was Blind". Great added tracks include him drunk at a bar singing a Cash song with his pants on his head in 1968.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Still the King
Comment: This CD is outstanding. It brings out some of the best singing he has done. There are songs on this CD that a number of people may not remember, but they are very good
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great CD - Successfully Copies to iTunes and iPod
Comment: Another reviewer had trouble copying this CD to an iPod. I was pleased to find that mine copied to iTunes and my iPod without a problem. Great CD.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Increasingly Difficult To Choose An Elvis CD
Comment: You may have noticed that, when searching under Elvis Presley you get something approaching 400 hits. And I have a sneaking suspicion that that isn't even the tip of the iceberg.
I, for example, have two that are not listed in Amazon's catalogue, an older one I purchased many years ago in Germany put out by LaserLight/Delta Music entitled Elvis - The King with 20 tracks, mostly his early stuff, and another titled The Essential Collection - 28 Timeless Classics, first released in 1995 by RCA/BMG, with 28 tracks.
That one, like the volume under review, offers a mix of his early cuts [Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, etc.], to later offerings like An American Trilogy, The Wonder Of You, and Moody Blue. But, putting together an Elvis compilation which contains something not available on literally hundreds of other albums must be fast approaching the impossible stage.
Every once in a while they will uncover a previously-unreleased track which is always welcome by his legion of fans, and in this one that would be I'm A Roustabout, recorded in March 1964 with The Jordanaires. The remix of Rubberneckin' may also be of interest to some. Not to be missed either are the 10 pages of liner notes written by Peter Guralnic, author of the 2-volume Elvis biography Last Train To Memphis and Careless Love, which is accompanied by several pictures and a track-by-track discography.
On the off-chance that someone connected to the industry reads [or pays any attention to] these reviews, may I suggest that any future release include the flip of Are You Lonesome Tonight, the bouncy I Gotta Know which reached # 20 on its own in 1960], along with several others that seem particularly hard to find, even with 400 albums available. These are: Ask Me [1964], Tickle Me [1965], Blue River [1966]; Please Don't Stop Loving Me [1966]; Stay Away [1968] - NOT Stay Away, Joe, but rather the one done to a Greensleeves melody; Rags to Riches [1971], and Life [1971].
In the meantime, you will like this offering.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The latest compilation of 30 tracks (all mixed and mastered from the original master tapes for optimum sound quality) will include five additional Presley #1 singles, fan favorites, career milestones and a newly discovered recording 'I Am Roustabout'! Oakenfold's remix of 'Rubberneckin' is sure to be well received among today's generation of music fans and further demonstrates the legacy of Presley's music. BMG.
