This is music with a capitol M.! The sound is superb and Elvis performs every song like it was the final master. The artwork is very well done, and the 8 page booklet contains some very interesting liner-notes from Johnny Savage. Even for a seventies fan like me this release is almost a revelation.The music is timeless and sounds not even dated, although these recordings are over 40 years ago done. If somebody ever proved an almost perfect feel for the right  sound it surely was Elvis Presley. A must have for everybody.!
