This sounds like a good one.I've always liked this Elvis.

I've got My Aim Is True with the 9 bonus tracks.I had the original when it came out.The bonus tracks on it are awesome.

I can imagine that this will be just as good.He is a great songwriter.

Exactly!!

I'm a pretty big Elvis fan but really don't have any of his vintage stuff other than the original Greatest Hits collection. I've been told the original incarnation of these album reissues/remasters are still the best. I know lots of artists (and/or their record companies) are guilty of flooding the market with reissue after reissue (or countless compilations) but this is severely out of hand.
