Thanks for your feedback, Dr John. Maybe yellow fever was a bit strong - I'll settle for influenza with a high fever and a chest rattle! Regards, Jamie

Jamie, have to agree with you 50% here regarding the covers but the comment regarding Elvis and yellow fever is way off the mark, Elvis gave his all in the 50's and looking at photo's of Elvis like this does show how much he put into his live performances, and at least the covers does match the contents of the cd. However respect your opinion as always and hope you feel happy to continue to contribute to the best Elvis www in the world.

Hello, those covers are so bad it defies words. 'Elvis Is Back' mashes up images from two eras both of which are irrelevant to its contents. And Elvis simply looks camp. On the cover of the 'Original Masters' he looks like he's enduring the agonies of yellow fever or something. I'll settle for concluding by saying "Monkey's nuts" as anything stronger may get me debarred from this wonderful site.

Elvis is Back release has the same track listing as 'Elvis is back plus 6 bonus tracks,Stuck on you/Fame and Fortune,Are you Lonesome Tonight/I Gotta know,A Mess Of blues/it's Now or Never, cd 2 of this set has 12 tracks from 'His hand in Mine' so a 30 track package for £3.99.

Elvis Presley 2 cd set has 28 tracks and for Jerome 'Old Shep' is track 7 cd1,but just a 2cd package of fifties PD material but for the cover alone well worth the £3.99 paid by me.

Interesting to note 'Hallmark' has also released 'Elvis is Back' and 'GI Blues' in original front cover artwork and same track listing,so for those who love 'Elvis is Back' it seems you have a wide choice if you are looking for this album.

Albums for the cheaper end of the Elvis market and in today's recession hit world a welcome opportunity to pick up one of the better albums (E.I.B) in the Elvis catalogue.
