This is an excellent Collectors' Essential Edition. Definately one of the very best Elvis Presley Recording Session. Good to have this on 7" format package at last. More please...

This is surely one of the best album from the 60´, if not the best next to the Memphis album 1969. Elvis is in his best form and sings the hallelujah at these sessions. Surely the best FTD since the beginning. TCB.

Glenn, I think it's ex aequo. Both From Elvis In Memphis and this one are the best(s). I pre-ordered it the day I knew about its release (like I do with any FTD :-)). For sure I will enjoy this one, and if the sound quality of the original album isn't satisfying, I still have the 24K one....

This album is definitely one of the most monumental, and compelling Elvis albums of all time. It's actually been my favorite work from Elvis for many years. What can I say? Elvis was back. The King had returned. His voice, immaculate. Can't wait to get it. Superb.

Great album! The sound is superb! The stereo is awesome, full and rich with deep bass and crisp highs, very little hiss. This will probably rank as one of the best quality sessions along with the Elvis Today sessions. This one will keep you listening.....

**quick note*** The "F" word at the end of Fever has NOT been removed! You can hear it very clearly! It's not like ernst to edit these releases, so i did not think he would cut that out. It's just Elvis , the Man.
