Pros: Everything basically...
Cons: Nothing really...
This is prime Elvis....the Elvis music I fell in love with as a kid...this is it. His absolute peak basically in his career. Such a varied collection of songs...such comtemporary and so...360 degrees on his movie soundtracks, it's unbelievable. Makes you think...I knew Elvis could sing like this....I knew it!:-)
The usual standouts are here, of course everything he recorded here in Memphis' American recording studios Jan-Feb 1969 is here plus outtakes, sweet:-) Suspicious Minds....In The Ghetto...Any Day Now....Dont Cry daddy...Kentucky Rain....very awesome collection of songs. They pretty much are more in a countryish rocking vein many times, as "True love travels on a gravel road" and "It keeps right on a hurtin" proves, the beautifully sung "I'll hold you in my heart" and "Without love"....you cannot go wrong! Other rockers "Power of my Love" and "Stranger in my own home town" really balance this compilation out. This is the ULTIMATE collection of these songs....they are all here from this lengendary session.
Summing it up....# 1 collection of Elvis in 1969, when the music got good again....no more lousy soundtracks, no more meddling Tom Parker in the way, just ELVIS in his own "hometown" of Memphis in Chips Moman's studio....this is real elvis, pick this up, is a must along with his 1976 recordings and the '71 "Elvis Country" songs.

bin that
I think this is the best cd ever! It contains some of the best songs ever sung. This is just a great cd. I have this at home and listen to it all the time.
If asked the famous desert island question, I would definitely take this CD set along. It collects all of Elvis's 1969 Memphis studio sessions, which to me were the best of his career. In 1969, Elvis was revitalized after years of bad films, and was in great health and spirits. Just as in his 1968 TV special, here he is dynamic and intense, and goes back to the blues, rock, and country of his early career. Plus, by 1969 he was a more polished musician than in the 1950s, and this is in stereo. His renderings of songs like "Long Black Limosine," "I'll Hold You in My Heart," and "In the Ghetto" seize you and won't let you go. Some of the extras are great, too - several alternate takes are fascinating variations, while the inclusion of good and obscure recordings like "If I'm a Fool" are welcome. If you don't have this album already, get it immediately!
