Elvis' 1960's work, especially his movie soundtracks which are not on here, gets mostly unfairly overlooked and dismissed. Sure, after coming home from the army in 1960, his style changed to a more pop sound with an occassional dip into the blues, (most of disc 1) and was and still is criticized for not continuing his 50s mastery of rock n roll. However, while Elvis was on his two year hitch, music changed. The rockers like Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Chuck Berry gave way to Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell, Bobby Darin, Fabian and in all a more pop sounding version of rock n roll. So when Elvis started cutting records in 1960 his sound changed also. Sure, "Stuck On You" was a leftover sound of the late 50s, but new sounds like "It's Now Or Never", "Make Me Know It" and others made the transition for Elvis and he was never more popular. His first four single releases went to #1 in the US with many more following through 1962. This box, which runs in chronological order, gives you every studio master that Elvis cut (minus gospel and movie tunes). Disc one is an absolute masterpiece which covers his first studio album of the 1960s, "Elvis Is Back" as well as other classic tracks from early 1961 such as "I Feel So Bad", "Give Me The Right", and a personal favorite "I'm Coming Home". Disc 2 bridges his '61 work with 1962 and part of 1963 and features excellent tunes such as "His Latest Flame", "Little Sister", "Kiss Me Quick", "She's Not You" and another personal favorite "Witchcraft". If there was to be a "weak disc" in the set, it would be disc 3. It's not really weak, (it's rather good) but not nearly as good as the others. It features great tunes such as "It Hurts Me", "Memphis", "Down In The Alley", "Ask Me", "US Male" plus more. These were recorded between 1964 and 1967 which was probably the lowest point of Elvis' career. Disc 4 contains the legendary 1969 material which cemented Elvis' comeback. While Elvis' hitmaking was as prolific as it was 9 years before, he still enjoyed a handful of top ten hits and his first #1 with "Suspicious Minds" since 1962's "Good Luck Charm". Highlights on disc 4 are "Suspicious Minds", "In The Ghetto", "Don't Cry Daddy", "Rubberneckin'" and another personal favorite "Power Of My Love". Disc 5 is a mixed bag of goodies which features the last of the 60s masters, several alternate takes and the awesome live duet performance of "Love Me Tender"/"Witchcraft" with Frank Sinatra. Wrapped up in an attractive box and an excellent booklet filled with pictures, stories and session notes, this set if the perfect set for the Elvis completist to go along with the excellent 50s and the 70s boxes.
