Title: REVISIONIST HISTORY FOR THE SAKE OF A QUICK BUCK
Product review: I would give this travesty less than one star if I could. Only RCA would crow about these songs being taken from the ORIGINAL masters and then REMIX them so they DON'T sound like Presley's original recordings. (Incidentally guys, if this monstrosity is the first ELVIS on compact disc to utilize the original "masters," why do the 50's, 60's, and 70's boxes all feature the term "masters" so prominently in their titles???)In a bid to ensure this is a huge Holiday seller, RCA has pulled original catalogue albums - the true classic records Elvis cut when he was alive - from the marketplace, leaving 30 #1 Hits as just about the only option consumers have if they want to hear Elvis on cd. It's a brilliant, shrewd piece of marketing confirming an inescapable truth: RCA and The Colonel made the real money; Elvis got the short end of the stick.
