Not sure yet, Chris, but probably not. I saw Mag's post in a related thread and she confirmed that there's really nothing new here, no new remastering or anything, and I already have the discs in the set individually, so might skip this one altogether.
Would really like to see Sony give Elvis' original release catalog the same care and treatment Capitol has given to the Beatles'. All of Elvis' original LP's, remastered, in mini LP sleeves, with some great liner notes. There could be a few posthumous releases given the same treatment, like "The Lost Album" for example!

I will get it...but not in a short time..maybe in a month or two...
Too much "real new" coming out now... But in the end,i will get it,just love those mini sleeves things... Here it's for sale at a rather cheap price too...25€..that makes 3,5€/cd...not a bad price for such things.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif) I agree Brad..to a certain extent at least. As a collector of CDs as well as his music, that can be the sole reason to buy it..even when we already have the material. I don't have any plans to add it yet...but as Shaun said..the sad thing is that i can see myself buying it at some point in the future. Sony know this....and by the looks of it,..so do the bootleggers these days. Its pretty much all material we have had before...but Elvis fans ( for the most part at least ) keep buying it....

Had a good look at a box today. The Cardboard sleeves do look very nice. I decided to purchase one...it was £18 which i thought for the price it wasn't bad at all. I do like those repro sleeves....guess i am a sucker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whistling.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/LSHIC.gif) But i have to admit..i like it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/undecided.gif)

I believe the dealeo that I was proposing was that someone else would by the collection and then give it to me for free and then I would provide a review??

I could go on - as I've lots more questions.......but will cease for now sincerely, Curious in Kansas -------------------- |

Are there even any virgins still out there to collect, perhaps we could catalogue them, so as not to get the same one twice ? hmm, i too could go on .....

I would pick one up if I saw it at a good price "in the flesh". But that's fairly unlikely, since there are no decent CD shops around any more where I live. I make almost all of my purchases online these days and whenever I have the money to spend there are other items to take priority.

this 7 CD set is for rent at our local library now for around € 9; I don't need this set because I have the original LP - LP transfer to CDR - CD and some tracks on several compilations.
