Hi Everyone. I am quite new to this board and the reason I joined was because I saw part of this forum devoted to Elvis lps. I am am long time collector of Elvis vinyl and even though I have numerous Elvis cds, my passion is collecting vinyl, particularly boxed sets. So I thought a thread showcasing some boxed sets would be fun. There was actually a thread about this but I thought I would start another. I am also new to uploading images to message boards so if my pictures go through I will provide some info about the boxed set pictured. Cheers,
Elvis Collector in Canada

Elvis "Collectors Gold" was a 3lp boxed set which came out of Germany in 1991. I remember walking into an HMV store here in my city at the time and examining the CD version. I remember seeing that one cd (which is also 1 lp in the set) was devoted to Elvis live in 1969. What made my jaw drop in the middle of that HMV store was when I saw a live version of "Rubbernicken" on the set (did I spell Rubbernicken correctly)? What? A live version from 1969? So of course,I had to have it and bought it.
Interestingly, there are two vinyl versions. The version pictured below is the most common one. The much tougher to obtain version has a sticker on the shrinkwrap with a number out of 10,000. I forget the story behind it but they were numbered. I did have a chance to pick up a sealed copy from another Canadian collector a few years ago but somebody beat me to it. Oh well, I will keep looking. This is a great set and worth it for just the vegas material in my opinion. A nice piece of vinyl indeed. Elvis Collector in Canada
