love this Music

Very Happy I purchased these collections ..it was all I knew it would be and even more . Wonderful music . I have been listening each day while I work from home Very very Happy

Excellent.

Excellent delivery to UK. Excellent packaging by Graceland Store. Excellent album by Elvis. This set gives a real feeling of being in the studio with Elvis and the team. You appreciate how hard Elvis worked to get the right interpretation of the songs he was given and it is nice to know that he was only human. Apart from a couple of splices from takes that had good parts and not perfect parts all the rest are multiple takes, not stopping until he was happy with the result no matter how long it took. There wasn't any cheating in those days with pitch correction, a vocalist had to actually sing to the best of their abilities. This session resulted in the best album of his career, with Elvis is Back being close behind. If you want to hear a Master at work, even if you are not a fan, this is an album that you should definitely buy. If you don't want the sessions then buy the actual album From Elvis in Memphis. If you hear the name Elvis and immediately think Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog and some throw away movie songs, this album will change your mind about your perception of Elvis. All record collections should have this in them.

Elvis... Memphis...1969

It's like being there in the studio! It's Elvis at his most soulful, heartfelt singing. Classic.

At The Top Of His Recording Game

The boxset is a masterpiece of sincerity and dedication, respect for Elvis and the listener in its thoroughness as well as in its graphics and writings.
