--> I agree to a certain point.

FTD have released a few questionable cd's (sound/ remastering wise).
In my opinion, these are:

Easter Special
6363 Sunset
Recorded Live On Stage In Memphis
Elvis Today
New Year's Eve


A few of the soundtrack cd's have also suffered from poor (lack of) remastering of the original tracks.
It's kinda odd when the alternate takes sound better than the masters!

Other than these, I think FTD have done a good job (as good as it could be expected, based on the material/sources they've had to work with).

If Kevan and Sebastian are allowed to continue their excellent work, I'm sure the FTDs to come will be top notch!

Damn right! However, I want them to work on ALL releases, INCLUDING the soundtracks. I for one am a huge fan of the "Harum Scarum" soundtrack for example. Ain't got nothing to do with nostalgia, either. I had never heard that album before FTD released it.
