HELP NEEDED ! TOP 50 ESSENTIAL BOOTLEGS TO OWN !
Hi all,
I have a problem. With over more than 1500 elvis cd's I start thinking. I don't listen to most of them any more, bezause I have so much.
Can you all help me, to list the top 50 most essential bootlegs to own??????
I know it's a lot of work, but it would really help me, to find the essentials of collection.
Thank
Eddy KHB

Hi Eddy,
My suggestion would be to start import top 40.
What are your plans with your other 1450 bootlegs?

Yvo

Re: HELP NEEDED ! TOP 50 ESSENTIAL BOOTLEGS TO OWN !
I thought of that too. But I would like to know what other member of this board think.
As for your question about the other 1450 +, well i'll keep them, but I don't play more than the half of it.
Hope that some one can really help me with this.

Re: HELP NEEDED ! TOP 50 ESSENTIAL BOOTLEGS TO OWN !
I would go with the 'There's Always Me' series as these revolutionised the Elvis bootleg scene. Before them we had only had movie outtakes... They still sound as good to my ears now as the first time I heard them.

Doc's list is great, though numbers 15, 24 and 39 are available in more superior versions in terms of sound quality and packaging:
High Voltage! replaces Burning in Birmingham, The Final Farewell 2CD replaces Adios, and Vegas Rhythm replaces It's a Matter of Time.

The recently issued Red Hot In Richmond is also another essential title.

Re: HELP NEEDED ! TOP 50 ESSENTIAL BOOTLEGS TO OWN !
Thanks friends, that helpt me alot.
The next thing I'm goin' to do, is to archive take's, live recordings that I have.
That way, when a new cd comes out, I'll know when I need to buy or not.
thanks again friends.
until next time, adios.
