Boxsets are dead (like the near death of CDs). In the few CD stores that are left, the bargain bins are full of boxsets. There really is no market for them anymore. I used to like them and was happy when all my favorite artists had boxsets released. But to be honest, I hardly play them anymore.

Regarding the 'I Believe: The Gospel Masters' Box Set. Perhaps Sony willl now realise that there have been more than enough of Elvis' gospel recordings released for public consumption. Of course they are some of his finest but enough is enough. Elvis earned the title 'King Of Rock 'n' Roll and it is about time Sony realised this with some imaginative releases in this genre. Part of Sony's current thinking is to release more Box Sets but whilst pleasing to fans the price of such items is above what most people are prepared to pay in today's economic climate.
