I read somewhere RCA's next project is combing 3 classic albums in one release..
Surely they wont change this iconic cover for the Legacy release, for the box-set no problem but leave this cover as it is......please.
2 of the greatest rock n roll albums on one release. What more can you ask for? Just look at the track list. Awesome.
How many times we have these album ???
They hardly needed to add the Love Me Tender soundtrack to the end of it... fairly anti-climactic
To my knowledge, these are the first two CD's of the new 5CD box - young man with the big beat.
On it's own it's a nice release. Two fine lp's. The problem I have with this release is is that the contents have been so milked that it's appeal is limited to only die hards & aliens from another planet & a few newbies. Got to agree with marco31768 on this.
concur with scudder here. Nice marketing aimed for newbies or folks that never got around to buying these albums on cd. I cant see why any long time fan would buy it.
Guys, agree with points raised regarding just were a release like this is essential or not, but as this will be a 'Legacy' release are we now saying we don't need it?.
I'm not buying the big box set. So, IF I buy anything to commemorate Elvis' historic '56 breakthrough this would be it
Yes, I already have songs many times over.
Where is the DVD ? This edition could be more completer if they put the DVD inside from the classic album-series. They also did it by the Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album.
Steve V Please give me a little respect. It's the old scudder not scudder.
This is my prediction. If the Legacy series makes a profit the label will milk it & eventually the Legacy series will include the rot eg. Blvd. Album, Frankie & Johnny, etc. I'd bet the ranch on it. They always milk the Elvis product because Elvis fans are easily exploitable. Example JerryNodak will buy it even though by his own admission he has these songs many times over. Nothing personal Jerry just making a point.
Amazon's song listing does not include the 3 Love Me Tender soundtack recordings, just Love Me Tender itself.
Two classic albums which started it all. I, personally, won't be buying this combo package as I have everything via FTD & regular release, but for the general public, who never knew or experienced Elvis, this is the supreme starting point aka rock 'n roll.
What has That's When Your Heartaches Begin have to do with 1956 and his first 2 albums? Fans amaze me. How could they forget this one? Really?
