thank-you wayup!! Only if we can stop and think... FTD is not cheap. It's very expensive. We have the worst covers, a so-so sound and even sound mastering faults. Do you remember the strange noise on the song "Where no one stands alone " (live 1977). WELL. And Sony, ridiculous! The sound on the great live albums: MSG and Aloha, and In concert is a great insult to Elvis memory. Any singer of any time have better live concerts sound that Elvis. And the formats with more resolution...Sony has dozens of artists with SuperAudio cd. Elvis? Guilty? many. Even us. Also maybe it's time for Ernst and Roger to retire. Maybe with his work on the Sun project. They are carrying many years and we need new people, younger. The same with the sound mastering people. Please take note and thank-you for all the great years.

Can someone please explain to me why there are so many negative comments about this release? Is it because the songs are overdubbed? If the Joan Deary tapes are "nothing new" on what official release do you find them? To me, this CD looks incredible! Unless someone can offer comments with a little more substance than the word "crap" I'll be inclined to buy this one.

my friend lefty THANK-YOU SO MUCH for your words. I can't understand so much negativity neither. All of my life waiting hear the REAL Elvis voice with clearity (only the GREAT Pizarda has done with his marvelous releases- note... please if you read this, Joseph,please can you take the Jorgensen place!!!!!!!???!!!), and at last we can have the real chance thanks to this label and to the great Joan. (R.I.P.) So please let us one oportunity for good wishes. Otherwise Sony and FTD have dozens of lost chances and NEVER (or almost) making real audiophile releases.

Definitively a new air to breathe because as my comments in other review of this great webpage in relation of the poor 68 tv special box release: My patience with Sony-Bmg has finished. The review from our friends of Norway is definitive. I don't want this poor release. It's incredible! Year 2008 and worst sound that a release of past century. That's only happens with Elvis. For me they are absolutely joking with the fans. Please we can see how are the boxes, regular cd releases of Sinatra, Dylan, Stones, Richard, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Chris Ledoux, Marty Robbins, Jim Reeves, and many more great artist...always better that Elvis . Remember the 70's box released without more of 30 studio master tracks left out? And this was the better box ever (7 unreleased songs), but always incomplete things. And the sound... always I'm working with my pc music program for updating the dry sound of FTD. Yes, more better that many years ago but always worst that the rest of great (or no great) musicians and singers of all time. It's real or a nightmare hear a million of time better sound on music of the 40's that the entire career of Elvis? Sometimes that happen, believe or not. Specially with releases of last couple of years. Elvis absolutely ignored by Sony. And I don't want to speak of the Estate. They are busy thinking how making money with the new toy with Elvis head and animal body. So this is the sad "elvistruth". If only that can be changed...

He's not on drugs. He just uses this site to advertise his crappy CD's for free...

To geertfromNl, You are lying because I have nothing with this promising label. So please only speak if you haves proofs. My great knowledge is because so many years as Elvis expert, great audiophile and that's all. Drugs? Bad taste and prefer ignore this comment (not yours, from an uneducated person)

This same person is at the For CD Collectors site bad-mouthing everything released on FTD and praising Pirzada. He claims to have a $40,000 stereo set up. Apparently there's also a loose screw in there as well. I'd much rather wait for a legitimate release from FTD or BMG that throw it away on computer altered music.

Man, this is democracy with respect! Do you know what is it? It's my opinion! Repeat: My point of view, so important as yours. It's Mr Jorgensen the Pope of Elvisworld?? The man has make great things and many others very low, but it's my thinking, not yours. Mr Pizarda is for me the best ever mastering Elvis. And it's not altering at all. Elvis never sound so natural as in th studio 1956 tracks of Joseph. The same line for legendary Joan Deary tapes. The best in many years. And about the other webpage. It's really incredible: the insultated guy has been myself! Only for say different things about Elvis related topics. Anyway it seems that it's truth the famous words saying that not always the majority have the truth...
