I think the Essential series are pretty good for other artists. I bought my wife the Barry Manilow one recently and it's very good. But when an artist like Elvis has one released, it's hard to get excited as there are about a gazillion greatest hits compilations already out there. It will probably be a good thing though to collectors of this series as it complements their collections. I just have a horrible feeling it's 30#1's and 2nd To None put together.
