An excellent comp. whose main selling point is the stunning remastering job by engineer Steve Hoffman.The improvement in the sonics is so great(minimal tape hiss,natural stereo soundstage)that all I can say is "Why couldn't BMG get their stuff to sound like this" ?

Bill Holdship misses the point - most Elvis CDs sound like crap and DCC took great pains to remaster these tracks from the ORIGINAL MASTERS. Great songs, great sound. Come to think of it, skip the CD (which sounds really good) and pick up the thick vinyl version (which sounds great).

Steve Hoffman does it again. You can experience Elvis and the Jordanaires as the studio engineers heard them. The orginal releases come nowhere near the remastering job done by DCC. This CD is worth the price alone to hear track 18 Good Luck charm and the background vocals by the Jordinaires. There was only 1 Elvis and you can really experience how good he really was with this CD. Elvis come into your listening room to perform his 24 greatest hits for you. A bargan at the price.

The Elvis Presley Group ( by that I mean the entire team of folks) did an absoloutely incredible job on this record. This is the first Elvis record i have ever listened to , and i listen to it more than any other record, frequently finding myself listening to all 6 sides (heavy vinyl). The Vinyl is much better than the CD AND the official reviews miss the point, Elvis is Back has only one song that has the aural impact to be on this incredible record. Yes, i have them both on heavy vinyl. Every member of the Team is fantastic as well. Elvis is obviously a big part, but the guitar(s), bass, rhythm and back up vocals are really incredible. Of course the recording / remastering etc was all great.
If you can only own one Elvis Presley Group record, this is the one, and a good time to get that old turntable out, perhaps put a new cartridge on it etc.
THE BEST RECORD i have bought in the last 5 years at least.
I learned a lot about rock n roll from this disc. Incredible sound and rock n can occur without les paul guitars into Marshall amps at full blast. These guys actually have talent and a great sense of rhythm.
This record will rock and awe you.
