Yes, it appears to be another way of flogging the same old 'greatest hits' again, this time loading the package with a bunch of (no doubt very common and nothing rare) photos. PASS....

Er, no. I have just spent over £100 on an original film poster and a rare green label UK demo. Far more collectable and far more of an investment.
I think I'll give up on buying the same old hits on cd over and over and over and over...... but you carry on; the head of Sony / BMG needs a new Rolls Royce!

It's just another collection of hits with some well known photos added. It makes me wonder how many copies this type of release actually sells these days?

I know Sony will argue that this release is for the general public, but given the endless supply of hits compilations over the years, there can't be that many casual buyers with a passing interest in Elvis' music that don't own this material already.

So apart from the Elvis collectors that buy every release that the label puts out, I can't see this title shifting too many units.

I realise Sony will continue to milk the cash cow, and I don't really have a problem with this, but they could use a little more imagination. The only purpose these titles serve is to clutter up the mainstream catalogue.

what i wonder the most is why blue christmas was put as the last track? is this a 70's Live version which would be weird for a normal release?

The sequence isn't chronological, so my guess is that they have put it at the end of the second disc so that you can end the programme early if you don't want to hear a Christmas song out of season.

I know there have been a few exceptions in the past on hits compilations, but I'm pretty sure it will be the master as this version was the 'hit'.
