Not a good period for Elvis. However, may be something interesting on there.

Nice surprise when this was in my mailbox on Saturday morning, again another well packaged release and booklet has some lovely photo's....a nice touch but it's what you expect from the people behind these releases.I have just got through disc 1 and sound is fantastic,some nice numbers and Elvis is to me in good voice?.....although 'Hurt' did seem a little flat but still nice to hear.My advice is sit back and listen and enjoy........

Just try Ebay, usually there are several sellers where you can buy Elvis-imports.
