Blue Suede Shoes Collection [Box-Set]

RCA/BMG hatte zuvor bereits eine ähnliche Box (die sog. "Red Suede Shoes Collection" mit ebenfalls 30 cds )auf den Markt gebracht. Deren Inhalt bzw. Zusammenstellung - neben 24 zuvor veröffentlichten, reguären cds der 90er sind u.a. auch eine Interviewdisc und Elvis '56, Elvis' Greatest JukeBox Hits, Great Country Songs, Great Performances und Jailhouse Rock/Love Me Tender zu finden - war aber weitaus weniger zufriedenstellend - insb. da die gängigen Hits von Elvis mehrsmals vertreten waren - als diese Nachfolge-Edition von 2001. Die Auswahl der hier vorliegenden Box mit den überwiegend remastered Ausgaben ist durchaus gelungen. Nicht nur weil einige der cds u.a. THE COMPLETE 50's MASTERS und die 3 cd Box THAT'S THE WAY IT IS als Einzelstücke nur schwer und dann auch noch zum stark überzogenen Preis zu erhalten sind. Aus heutiger Sicht würden einige Ausgaben der letzten Jahre das Gesamtbild noch abrunden: Z.B. die 4 cd Box THE COMPLETE 68 COMEBACK SPECIAL als Ersatz für MEMORIES und TIGER MAN; THE COMMAND PERFORMANCES II statt THE HOLLYWOOD HITS. Unverzichtbar eigentlich: ELVIS IS BACK und auch SUSPICIOUS MINDS - The Memphis 1969 Anthology. Weitere Beispiele: Die cds LOVE SONGS und THE MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET sind meiner Meinung nach kein Muss. Dafür aber ELVIS IN PERSON und MOODY BLUE/FROM ELVIS PRESLEY BOULEVARD, und/oder die 3cd Box COLLECTOR'S GOLD. Aber das ist Geschmackssache und über Geschmack läßt sich bekanntlich streiten. Wie auch immer, diese Box bietet insg.- nicht nur für den Einsteiger - einen sehr guten Überblick von Elvis' musikalischer Vielfältigkeit; beeinhaltet sie doch mehrere Highlights (auch Alternativ bzw. Outtakes wurden berücksichtigt). Für den ELVIS-shrine ein absoluter Hingucker; ein Must have für jeden ELVISFAN; ein echtes Sammlerstück - zumal diese Box out of print ist.
