Is there anything on it that die hard fans don't have? Anyone? Or can we skip this one?

To sum it up: Plain C-R-A-P....!!!

your reaction is c-r-a-p, now that's reality

Products betraying the fans by using wrong infos with intention to make them buy these are C-R-A-P.....

can't wait to get a copy- yes not the original but a copy..

I bet some of the acetates are pretty rough sounding like the old vinyl bootleg, from The Beach To The Bayou. Certainly not essential.

I think the good sounding outtakes have already been released by BMG on the King Creole CD. These 'new' ones are probably very bad quality I'm guessing.

I recall a release years ago that was a big fraud. The supposedly different takes of different songs were in fact the same ones being played over and over, with the pitch and speed being altered each time. The track list of this one looks eerily similar.

Yep,..taken from rip offs like From The Beach To The Bayou and King Creole Acetates..

ewwwww,no thanks!!

I'll only buy it if the tracks have been remixed for the kiddies. And is it true that 'Lover Doll' is a duet with Lady Ga Ga? If so that's great as it will get Elvis back in the charts again. Yahoo!

Who's Lady Ga Ga. Elvis can do this on his own. I like the cover, at least it's from KC. Where can I get it ?

........maybe not !

dgirl wrote on April 21, 2009

Lady GaGa has the number 1 song (Poker Face - quite catchy) in the USA & UK or it just was in the last few weeks. She is a media attention person much like Madonna but she actually can sing much unlike Madonna. I think she is British. Talented piano player as well. I wish she would do 'real' music instead of today's trendy garbage.

Where do you buy these sort of releases, because I want one?
