I am assuming it is in mono - it should be. All we need now is for Music On CD to do the same or perhaps combine 1 and 2 in a decent 12 inch box otherwise the 20 Page Booklet will be insignificant at 5" size

This looks very tempting if the readily available stereo tracks are mono mixes. We’ve had some mono mixes on CD but not sure that all of these have been done yet?

This could have been a decent release for FTD but with a expanded book. I wonder if Ernst or Roger ever considered it for vinyl.

When you say book, do you mean like the classic album type CD booklet and not the coffee table (sized!) book?

I would love this (and its companion volume) to get an FTD CD re-release using the proper 45rpm single and EP mono masters just like the original box sets...

I meant an expanded version of the 20 page booklet (I’m sure I typed booklet but maybe auto correct…..) which came with the original boxset when it was released in 1970. So nothing massive but maybe 40 or 50 pages. But I guess that will not happen now as far as FTD vinyl is concerned. But FTD could still do a CD version in their 8" box size and also Volume 2. However I doubt they could get more swatches from Elvis’ wardrobe to put in a little envelope, so perhaps Ernst and Roger could supply swatches from their wardrobe :wink: :lol:

I have two versions of it, the original releases and ''Elvis Presley – 100 SuperHits The Elvis Collection'' https://www.discogs.com/release/6940814-Elvis-Presley-100-SuperHits-The-Elvis-Collection
which was released in 1980 and contained both volumes of the 50 Worldwide Gold Award Hits, which some of you might not know but might be cheaper to find then the original releases - the sound quality is identical.
The music on vinyl release looks great, but unless it's being released here and their price is fair i'm not getting it.

The price I paid was €66 which seems reasonable but such a release.

I asked MOV, the box is a mix of Mono and Stereo versions, so they don't stick to the original release.

Oh well, at least it will make the release unique from the original, but disappointing all the same.

My original UK boxes are still in very good shape, and I'm rather fond of the original mono mixes, so I'm going to pass on this one. It's nice to see it back in print - it's a great release for new collectors - but I wish they had followed the format of the original and released the albums in mono.

All these albums are made nowadays with digital files. Nothing against it, but it’s the same we already have on cd. Years ago, the Sinatra estate released many albums remastered and made in vinyl using digital files, but they were more “useful” as there wasn’t a cd counterpart. So when you bought the amazingly sounding This Is Sinatra volume 2, there wasn’t an alternative on stream or cd or hi res, only the vinyl version.

99% people don’t recognize the difference between analogue and digital, it’s the different mastering (or sometimes mix) they’re noticing. So nothing against using digital files.

Doing this particular set as it was conceived in 1970 would mean to locate the lp tapes and remaster them and it’d be so nice… but it’s cheaper to lend the Sony digital files already in use on a thousand releases.

They charge premium prices for a cover and an already available sound file.

My advice is: locate an original set, it’ll be cheaper and it will give you something different sound wise . Or, for the ones that HAVE to have the available mastering in vinyl, go for it.

Same with almost all Elvis albums.
