Great cover design, and another interesting track listing. These guys certainly deliver the goods.

My copy's on order, so I should get it real soon, from what I've been reading it should be evey bit as good as the others.

General, non-specific, theoretical question: why are releases like these posted if we can never ask how to buy them?? Aren't you helping the bootleggers by posting this?? Updated reaction from the editors of ElvisNews: We only inform the fans of what is happening in the Elvis world, that includes the releases of bootlegs. Discussing the content is o.k. but we don't want anyone to get in any trouble discussing where to get these illegal releases.

I don't see how you can get into trouble by DISCUSSING something! It's BUYING or SELLING the bootleg that is the problem. By telling us about the release, you create the desire to buy it. Get real.

Well Texas Rex, just try to mail some of the other posters in private... that way you can get all the info you want so badly, without bringing anyone in a difficult position, including the editors of this site. They only want to follow the law.
