Elvis Presley
Ian:
Seems like just repackaging for those of us who have some of the previous sets…or is there some buried treasure there?

I don't think so. It's all the undubbed masters as far as I understand.
These boxes have lost their use imo. Just like the inflationary use of that "anniversary" thing. It's reminding me of Mike using "50 years of..." for all of (?) his tours after the reunion. It just makes it all so cheap. Same with the sets. And look at the messageboards where the crazies call for a box celebraing 50 years of Elvis' last use of a cape and such (just a joke, but, well, the reality is not much better)
Anyway, here's a new one form the Memphis set:
Danny Boy

"Danny Boy" is one hell of a performance by Elvis imo. Other acts would kill to have just one performance of this caliber in their catalog.
EDIT:
BTW I just saw this. A new story about Elvis and the BBs:

My guess is this will probably be the last major box, since they're running out of ideas and material to work with...with the exception of a possible EIC set (maybe also including Elvis' final concert in Indianapolis, June 26, 1977) in 2027. (Unless they do something with a Today set in 2025: undubbed masters, partially-overdubbed masters (with Norbert Putnam and Mike Leech's re-recorded basslines), fully overdubbed masters, and that June/July concert "edit" that I think is partially from Dallas? That's the only other possible box I can think of at this point).

Just took a look at this. The Beach Boys played Memphis (and you can hear earlier Carl in the bus talking a little about Memphis and Stax) and Geore Klein visited backstage. Billy Hinsche had his camera rolling and got a little interview:
