You are my friend for lifeepfan4life wrote:Mean while im enjoing my copy of the hits from the 70's. very nice !!
And what copy is that? The actual UK vinyl called "Hits of the 70's" or a certain bootleg CD doing the rounds that is playing on the nostalgia of Elvis collectors but doesn't actually contain the album it bears the cover art for?epfan4life wrote:You guys never get old with this C-R-A-P talk.

Why didn't you preserve this limited edition collectable and leave it sealed? You have all the material in the same audio formats already in your collection.BIGREDG wrote:You are my friend for lifeepfan4life wrote:Mean while im enjoing my copy of the hits from the 70's. very nice !!
It's a very nice CD.
My only gripe was that I had to ruin the very nice sticker on the back when I opened the plastic cover
Should have cut the top open with a knife on reflection !!

It's OK Matthew, I have an extra mint sealed one "for investment" purposes - panic overMatthew wrote:Why didn't you preserve this limited edition collectable and leave it sealed? You have all the material in the same audio formats already in your collection.

i dont seen the point in throwing stones at these releases. hello, you are on a website called Elvis Cd Collectors. If you don't like the CD, dont buy it simple as that dont tell other CD collectors whats crap and whats not. Your opinion of crap might be someone elses gold mine! its all about collecting my friends.
Why does it bear the (altered) album coverart of an RCA 70's hits compilation proclaiming "finally on CD!" if it doesn't contain the original album? Answer, to play on nastalgia. They should have just titled it a BMG/FTD sampler CD and been done with it.BIGREDG wrote:If it was not so sad, that would be funny !!

You can just picture the scene - fan gets his Cd in the post, and says - "sh*t, 18 tracks, masters and outtakes, boo hoo - I was hoping for just the 12 master tracks that I already have a hundred times"
Strange world you live in Matthew.

Unless I'm mistaken the original LP actually showcases what would now be considered "rare" mono mixes of some material.
"tracks that I already have a hundred times", now thats funny!

The front cover on my copy does not bear this declaration.Matthew wrote: Why does it bear the (altered) album coverart of an RCA 70's hits compilation proclaiming "finally on CD!" if it doesn't contain the original album? Answer, to play on nastalgia.
Now that would be downright dishonest !! You have a criminal mind my friend.Matthew wrote:They should have just titled it a BMG/FTD sampler CD and been done with it.
In actual fact, the LP in it's original guise was released on a fan club CDr several years ago anyhowMatthew wrote:Unless I'm mistaken the original LP actually showcases what would now be considered "rare" mono mixes of some material.

Of course it plays on nostalgia, but Elvis collecting at this stage (31 years on) IS nostalgia !! The way you say it is as though they are trying to con people into thinking it is simply the old 12 track LP. Maybe the flyer was a bit foolish in using the "finally on CD" tag, I will concede that.

The meaning of this site is not just advertising every single piece of junk that is coming on the market. Where would we be if anybody would just accept these rip-offs..??epfan4life wrote:

Just ask him...he is there..memfisking wrote:Perhaps BIGREDG sells "imports" and therefore uses this mb to hype even the shi##yest cd's.
Someone that sells dog sh#t will tell everyone that it's the best dog sh#t in town.
Can we just make a small clarification here. Mentioning Cds that come out to let people know that they are around is not advertising - be they good, bad or downright ugly. It's informing. Surely no one can object to that on an Elvis CD Collectors forumCiscoking wrote:The meaning of this site is not just advertising every single piece of junk that is coming on the market.

The meaning of this site is building opinions and discussing CD..may they be bad or good... and not just accepting cause this site is "FECC" only.
