I forgot to post this. Engineer at Sun Studios, Matt Ross-Spang shows how Sam got the slapback echo with his equipement.

Rocker, can you post back what your thoughts are about this set?
Rocker:
Sure. I think it's a winner all around. The sound is great. Just as good as "Elvis at Sun" on first listen. The outtakes and live recordings are rounding up the whole thing and it's nice to hear songs sung by Elvis ("Little Mama" "Maybelline" "Tweedlee Dee" "Hearts of stone" etc) that we don't have any other versions of.
The packaging is very nice (apart from the cardboard sleeves but that's not a major point imo). I haven't read the book yet and just thumbed through it but it seems very well done with lots of pictures and informations. You can see that some pictures were not taken professionally so they may be a little un-sharp, other may come from movies (like from this one for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjW_nLjtngA ).
Just a couple of thoughts. I yet have to really dig into this set (especially the book) but I guess it will take two or maybe even three weeks until I have some more time.

oh that's excellent to hear! Thanks for the review, might have to put some pennies aside
and pick one up myself. Sure looks like a cool package!

Of course it's also a matter of what you want to have. This set has everything, including outtakes and live performances and of course the book. If you only want to have the masters and don't care about the bonus material, then you probably should get "Elvis at Sun" or the vinyl of "A boy from Tupelo". But otherwise, this set screams "definitive".
