Elvis Presley
pixletwin:
The complete Boy From Tupelo is a must!
Ian:
Not to say it isn't a nice package but for people like you and I who already own most of the material the question again becomes "do I really need this?" For me the answer is no.
Ian:
I'm always on the lookout for something new but I often feel like I'm just paying for packaging. Like I bought the stax collection and it was nice but I already had the lps on which the compilation was based-so in the age of I-tunes I could just as easily have made my own compilation without spending any money. I think my future purchases on Elvis will probably be limited to occasionally buying an individual download of a song I'm missing-if there are any left! I think I own everything worth having
Ian:
It's a bit different with someone like George jones, whose catalog was a mess up till recently. The bear family boxes have a lot of material I never heard and most of it is quite good. With Elvis Ernst Jorgensen and then follow that dream did such an expert job already that the recent packages are just window dressing

I certainly agree.
With "A boy from Tupelo" the focus was from the beginning on the book. Ernst put years of work into that and when it was originally released it had twice as much pages as this new release I believe. So in that sense the idea behind the product has changed. The never before released "I forgot to remember to forget" of course is a very welcomed addition. But yeah, if you go by the music, there's probably not a lot that you don't already own.
