Its a really nice looking set, but not for 500 dollars.

[debtdbruno]

only available in the the US........just as well

Awaiting to see how many $$$$$$ the 30 disc set from Ernst

[Unchained Melody]

I'm not sure if its a bad deal I mean you get all original masters elvis recorded. A heck of a collection there.

[Jungleroom76]

It definitely is a nice looking collection for sure and I really like the way they have the songs grouped in different categories (Heartache, Loves Lost, Sun Sand & Surf, Elvis in Hawaii, Fun at the Fair, etc...). Very original way of organizing the songs!!!

Hmmmm....I wonder if I was good enough this year for Santa to put this under my tree???

Well lets see now, first there was that thing that happened back in February involving a vacuum cleaner salesman.

Then there was that little misunderstanding you had back in June with that young lady down in Houston. I think your excuse was "I didn't know her dad was the mayor".

Finally there was that complaint filed by the PETA involving your displays of affection to a moose?

Even if you don't get the cd set, your activities in 2009 will make one heck of a reality show MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[U.S. Male]

Now to get back on subject, I agree this looks like a fantastic set

I do think they should've released them in cronological order, but the way they have them categorized looks interesting too.

Will be interesting to hear how the sound remastering results is on all these tracks for sure

Depends on how 'sweet' you keep your wife Mike, whether she'll splash out..........

It's likely to be more expensive. It certainly WON'T be cheaper.

I like this set and the "theme" disc approach. Gives the music a fresh spin. I find chronological track listings boring. I already know how his music evolved. I don't need to be reminded. Newbies aren't likely to be laying out money for this or the 30 disc set from Ernst/Sony.

[Unchained Melody]

So is THIS the set Ernst was talking abou releasing as a 30 cd set costing over 1000 dollars.

Surely they aren't releasing two sets like this

I don't think so buddy...my guess is this ISN'T the set Ernst was talking about and that they WILL try to release another set like this...

Obviously Ernst and Co. haven't been made aware that there is a financial recession taking place and fans can't afford to spend this kind of money...

This looks like a great set! It's actually Franklin Mint not Mind, as it's typed on elvis.com.

Thanks buddy!

If that is the case then I think I will hold out for what boxset Ernst is going to release.

But if its going to be more than 1,000 dollars there isn't no way, my girlfriend would kill me!

[debtdbruno]

Franklin Mint made this available to US only..........

However, Elvismatters.com will be stocking this for European customers

Actually, it's an interesting situation...

Is Ernst's proposed box set going to contain every recorded master by Elvis? Is the box set even going to be released? I know he's mentioned it many times, but as yet there is no definitive information on Ernst's proposed set as far as I know...

It would be nice to know the exact contents of Ernst's set so that we could compare it to the Franklin Mint set to see which is a better value to pick up...

It would be nice.

If its 1,000 USD there won't be no need for comparison by me anyhow, I'd have to go with the Franklin Mint set.

I hope Ernst comes out with some "new" news on the set soon to address if its the same set thats being released by Franklin Mint that he was going to release.

[debtdbruno]

$1000 is going to be out of most people's budget unfortunately..........

In the long term, you would think it will hold it's value more than FM set

Actually Deb, the long term value may depend on how many of the FM set are released versus Ernst's set. If there is more of one than another, that might make the set with a lower production number more valuable.

Plus I think FM collectables do have more of a tendency to increase in value...
