No I didn't buy it. I stopped buying just for the purpose of completeness several years ago.

I have´nt bougth it yet but I will do it soon

No. I can make my own compilation.

Now that would be marvellous.

Paging Roger...

Did you buy the HITS OF THE 70;s release ?

No, and I encourage others not to.

No, I did not buy it......not sure why I should have....and I guess it doen`t matter anyway....if I did or not (Don`t even know why I even bothered replying on this topic )....but I did

Ive got the Franklin Mint set and the 50-60-70s boxsets. I have no need for this'un

To tie loose ends by picking up some songs missing from the 1970/71 Worldwide Gold Award Hits volumes and the five 1997 Gold Records volumes...
How about a SONY retail reissue of 1975's Pure Gold album using Vic Anesini remasters?

Original album:
01. Kentucky Rain
02. Fever
03. It's Impossible
04. Jailhouse Rock
05. Don't Be Cruel
06. I Got A Woman
07. All Shook Up
08. Loving You
09. In The Ghetto
10. Love Me Tender
Bonus songs:
11. Good Rockin' Tonight
12. Such A Night
13. I'm Yours
14. (Such An) Easy Question
15. Frankie And Johnny
16. Separate Ways
17. Promised Land
18. I've Got A Thing About You Baby
19. Steamroller Blues
20. My Way

"Pure Gold"?

I think THIS will be the point when I finally would think over of having my FTD collection complete ... maybe I should not buy FTDs anymore and go for the "How to make a quick buck" series releases (Rarities, Elvis Sings The Blues, Welcome In Germany, Golden Boy Elvis, Mahalo From Elvis and so on ...) instead?!

I am holding out for "Pure Gold".

An expanded "Pure Gold" on FTD? I'm in!

An expanded "Pure Gold" on FTD? I'm in!

Me too, but only if they use the Saginaw version of My Way again.

I love ypur sarcastic wit, Matthew. As for the "My Way" snafu, it's over and done with. A mistake was made. It's not the first. It won't be last. It doesn't keep me from enjoying the remaining 99.9%. I've moved on. Not losing any sleep. If Joe Public bought this release it's quite likely he wouldn't know the difference. Only the "annointed" are cursed with the knowlege.

Pure Fools

If FTD ever decides to release "Elvis' Greatest S***", that'll be the day I would burn my house down and jump off the London Bridge.

"Pure Gold"?

An expanded "Pure Gold" on FTD?

No, no... a SONY retail reissue using Vic Anesini remasters.

I want it, and I want it NOW!!!

If they were going to do something like that, would it not be better to start from scratch and create a "Golden Records Vol.6".

The original "Pure Gold" track-listing was a little haphazard. Songs like "It's Impossible" and "Fever" don't really belong on hit compilations, and there's also the issue of track duplication from previous hit collections.

An expanded "Pure Gold" on FTD? I'm in!

What on earth for?? PLEASE don't encourage them.

But, Tony, the men in suits will love him.

What on earth for?? PLEASE don't encourage them.

Please boycott all of these useless GH compilations. Send a blunt message to FTD/Sony....and let them know that we're mad hungry for any soundboard & multi track material from '74-'77. A petition is urged. We need to act now before it's too late. We must let these no good money hungry bean counters at Sony that they cannot dictate what kind of crap is released to the fans. Power to the people.

how about the pure diamonds release on FTD a expanded version with more bad sounding undubbed masters and masters

... would it not be better to start from scratch and create a "Golden Records Vol.6".

Maybe something like this?

ELVIS' GOLD RECORDS - Volume 6

01. Good Rockin' Tonight
02. Money Honey ......(from Heartbreak Hotel extended play)
03. Rip It Up ............(from ELVIS Vol. 1 extended play)
04. Baby, I Don't Care (from Jailhouse Rock extended play)
05. Trouble .............(from King Creole Vol. 2 extended play)
06. One Broken Heart For Sale
07. (Such An) Easy Question
08. I'm Yours ............(single version with middle spoken part edited in)
09. Puppet On A String
10. Tell Me Why
11. Frankie And Johnny
12. Any Day Now
13. Don't Cry Daddy
14. Rubberneckin'

Yes, that would make more sense for me. Nice track-listing, thanks.

If FTD ever decides to release "Elvis' Greatest S***"

Now you're talkin'!

Yep. I bought it, but I havn´t had the time to listen to it yet...

O.S.
