Yes, but these releases are old and the sound quality and mixes are rather poor comparing to the recent ones (Vic Anesini fantastic remasters)
Sure, not the best ones...but really, not bad at all...Really.

I agree Scarre......not bad at all, the sound quality is just fine, and considering the price, you`ll get a lot of great music for the money. Using the link below, you`ll get all three(50`, 60`and 70`nice box sets= 5 cd`s pr. set(15 cd`s in all) ) for a total of $93.19

I would say that those would make a really great start.(They did it for me about 10 years ago) But jdw89, you should know that anyway you do it......there will be a loooong way to go. When you first get goin`, it`ll never end.....LOL. There are so many more.....endless titles of Elvis cd`s out there, so my advise would be.....take it easy and start to concentrate on Elvis` main body of work......Elvis world is a HUGE one, and only few can ever afford to own everything.
After the 50`, 60`, and 70`box sets, I would go for the FTD cd`s.....one by one. Do you know what FTD are?.......if not, just ask and people will be happy to tell you about what it is.
I know if I were you, I`d be rather confused by now from all the answers, but I sincerely hope you`ll find your way through the Elvis jungle......Welcome to Elvis world and Happy new year.
P.S. And I`m sure you would want some DVD`s too........here you go, my best ones are

I'm 24, I've had compilations in the past of his and listened to a few records before but never anything other than that.

Hey......he also asked:jdw89 wrote:Also how much more will I be missing of his material if I got these?
So my idea by showing him the complete masters was to give him an idea of how much the whole thing is. I could have made him a looong list of songs, but....

Totally agree.
The lyric is poetic.
The melody is haunting.
Elvis' vocal is utterly believable, sung with power, conviction and raw emotion.
