Reply With QuoteI like I said would be delighted to have it but my budget simply can't afford it for cd's.
I'll go the FTD route in obtaining the music, and the new 2010 releases that are coming out.
Actually I just split the difference Joe. I figured $500 would be too low of a price, but $1,000 would be much too high for only but a select few fans to be able to afford, so I just split the difference and said $750.Originally Posted by Joe Car

Just Checked it out on the net and went through the actual tracklisting,
And Surprisingly 'LET'S FORGET ABOUT THE STARS' Was no where to be seen...
But It Is An Expensive Item...Considering most elvis fans
will have most of these masters already.
Brilliant reasoning Mike!Actually I just split the difference Joe. I figured $500 would be too low of a price, but $1,000 would be much too high for only but a select few fans to be able to afford, so I just split the difference and said $750.

Mike, you are correct. The price for this set will be/is: $749.00
$763.00 with shipping Tony!

Whether it be $749.00 or $763.00 (with shipping)....that's still too **** much for a 30-CD set even if it does include a book. This is one boxset that I won't be purchasing unless someone gifts me with it.
I bet people will be selling their copies on Ebay - you just sit back and watch!
Agreed sir.

I must have paid at lest that much for all the cd's I have now, but I did it in the EasyPayment Plan -
one at a time -- over many many years!
I won't buy it, but I know I'll be wishing I could!
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
As has already been pointed out this release would be a great purchase for a new fan. I have been a fan since 1956 and have everything a thousand times over so I think it would be sheer extravagance on my part to contemplate buying it. However if anyone has a spare copy they want to get rid of my address is........................

no beginner fan is going to start with a mammoth box set though
so I have no idea who the target audience of 1000 is.

I've also been thinking about it and the fact that Sony is planning to release this set now is a little puzzling to me when the Franklin Mint has also released their version of the COMPLETE MASTERS SERIES. Yes, there are the obvious differences between the 2 sets, but just the fact that buyers have the option of making payments for the Franklin Mint set makes a big difference as opposed to coming up with such a huge chunk of money all at once for the Sony set.
I know the payment plan was one of the biggest reasons why I chose to go with the Franklin Mint set and I think that is a big bonus for fans who want to own the COMPLETE MASTERS SERIES.

Next we`ll have a set called "The incomplete Elvis Presley Collection"...with all the tracks on it! I`m gonna wait for that one I think!!
I wonder if that one will be less expensive??
