How long does a sex symbol last? Isn't it time to seaze repackaging and stick to re-releasing? Those are the questions one'd likely pose to RCA Victor. With everything he has been to America and the world to date - Elvis is the last artist on the roster to benefit from this 20-something ad-hoc tracks culled from dozen original sources. OK, it's a brilliant remaster to bring out yet new dynamics in "Are You Lonesome..." and the booklet texture feels silky stylish, but what's definitely missing is His singularity. Mundane "Surrender" takes place where fancier "Suspicion (torments my heart)" should've been. Few live recordings (again and umpteenth time!) virtually ruin the studio homogenity of this - predominantly studio - collection. No, it's not THAT bad. No one can take Elvis material and come up with an offhand product. But it stand no chance in the store against a "two Elvis albums on 1 CD" thing. Remaster or no remaster.
