I have the previous box sets in this series, 2 x jazz and 1 each for blues and country music. They make a great introduction to each genre. They are reasonably priced at around £30 each set and are well worth checking out. Just a small point though, I would have included one of the religious albums,maybe leaving out Raised on Rock. Also not sure why the box design highlights several albums not in the set!!!!!!! Minor points as I will still get this. And great to see Welcome To My World included as it is real difficult to find on CD in the UK.

Regarding the albums shown on the Box but not in the set. I e-mailed SONY and they stated that this was the original design but is being changed prior to release to cater for the correct albums.

As there are ever new fans this will be a FANtastic start of their collection- if for a reasonable price. Better than again and again compilations that will double too many songs.

If the cd lsit are true, then is WTMW for the first time released in europe.And would have the alternates and mixes from the original lp. for everyone would then available agian. So i hope they don't change because it are real real classic albums. If i buy this.? No i have all the cd's. Not bad

Hello, this looks like a round-up of Elvis's secular albums from the 70s with the 'On Stage' and 'Aloha From Hawaii' live LP's thrown in for good measure and supplemented with some of his better pre-1970 releases. Can someone tellme if I'm wrong - I think the only unreleased song on the old vinyl WTMW country collection was 'I Can't Stop Loving You'. It's since been given a CD release on 'An Afternoon in the Garden' so I don't think there are any real goodies to anticipate in this set. It goes without saying, I do hope BMG plan to enclose the remastered, expanded CD's in this box.

No for the good times was a unrelaesed version. But also the mixes are different. Make the world goa away wans't live but has no female backing vocals.

Kinda odd, that the box cover, shows photos of Elvis albums, not included in the CD package, such as, Viva Las Vegas, G.I. Blues, He Touched me, Frankie & Johnny, etc. I would rather RCA-Sony- spend some money and really remaster these CDS, and I mean really remaster the songs, from "Scratch" and get the best sound possible, and re-release these CDs, as "Double Legacy Collections" at the nice price.

This is what the Franklin set should have been, except with all albums released. Not even Sony Masters did it right in my opinion as far as packaging. The beatles get all their albums stereo and mono released proper as mini lp's. Elvis deserves the same respect. Hopefully there will be a volume 2 like this one. I love papersleeves. They take up less space and eliminate so much plastic.
