PRESLEY ELVIS THE ESSENTIAL ELVIS PRESLEY Finally the king of rock 'n' roll available in the critically acclaimed Essential series! The Essential series has sold 18 million units worldwide. Definitive, career-spanning and comprehensive including 17 number one hits. This is a CD must have for die-hard fans and casual music buyers commemorating the 30th anniversary of Elvis's death on 2007. Mastered using DSD technology for optimum sound quality.
Good CD to buy. Remastering is great, the third disc is a nice addition. Everyone knows the songs, you may have them, but this is a very well mastered CD and if you have the older Elvis stuff from the 80's-90's this will be a jaw dropping improvement over the poorly mastered RCA days. Avoid all of them!
Sure, there are more than a few Elvis anthologies out there and, yes, there is nothing on this set that isn't readily available on a few hundred other compilations, but this one is noteworthy in its own way, and a great collection as well. Focusing less on hits than on great performances, "Essential Elvis" gathers a handful of Sun sides, the best of his early RCA output and acclaimed sides from throughout his career. You get the best of Elvis' many hits..
