This is a fabulous book release of one of the King's best movies from 1958 –– and without doubt in addition to JAILHOUSE ROCK –– classic Elvis, visual and the audio... The included disc has great sound –– warm, rich and defined and it's hard to believe it could EVER sound any better!!! Maybe the pages should be glossy but the paper is high quality nevertheless. Furthermore two great versions of 'King Creole' as added bonus tracks.

A fantastic release ––

A bit expensive. Why are there no really good alternate takes from King Creole? Most of that material has already been released.
