Man, I get sick of these endless reissues of the Hayride materials. These historic recordings have been completely trivialised by being put out on scores of CD's by people wanting to make a quick buck without having to pay royalties. Now they've also started including legitimate official recordings that have passed the 50-year old mark. If something isn't done about this, then Elvis' entire catalogue is going to be turned to shambles over the next 20 years.
