Sounds good, how is the sound of the cd's so far?

Although neither the book info, or the cd's, will be something new for the already hardcore Elvis fans, its a nice strategy to put Elvis on the map for the casual music fans, the ones not very aware of what is the king about beyond the 30 greatest overrated hits.

Good news.

The information and package is deluxe, but the sound is nothing new.
I've been surprised with the superb sound of "His Hand In Mine" (volume 6 of this collection). :supriced:
The sound of others titles were taken from normal BMG editions, not FTD. :'(

Good News For The Spanish !
