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

Another insertion into this thread is of the box "Artist of the Century". Did you know that there are four versions of this vinyl lp box? The most common is the black vinyl version, widely avaliable in North America upon its release in 1999. In that same year, three other versions of the box were released. There was a picture disc version and these were numbered. I have seen numbers over 3000 so they can be found. However, it gets much more difficult to find the red vinyl versions. I have no idea how many of the red versions were released but they were numbered also. The most difficult of all four is the blue vinyl version pictured below. There were 500 copies of this box made and every box comes with a sticker and number out of 500. I bought my set from a dealer in the U.K. who told me they used to bring blue vinyl copies to record concentions in the U.S. (because blue vinyl was plentiful in the U.K.) and trade for red vinyl copies (which were more plentiful in the U.S.) and bring them back to the U.K. I paid a good price for my blue copy from that dealer but I did get torched on shipping. Oh well, its worth it for the king.
