Free Music Notes for Elv1s 30 #1 HitsFree Music Review: Great Elvis! Hit: 5 StarsJust can't get enough of Elvis? This album is for the eternal Elvis Fan and contains his best work. It places great music in one package.
Free Music Review: His best single CD collection! Hit: 5 StarsThis is the best single CD Elvis greatest hits collection available. It includes Elvis' biggest hits from the US and UK. All the songs on this set hit number 1 in either the US or UK or both, including the remix of his classic "A Little Less Conversation" which went to number 1 in the UK (and stayed there for 4 weeks) and several other countries in 2002. This set spans almost his entire career from his first international hit in 1956, "Heartbreak Hotel", right on through the last single to be released before his death in 1977, "Way Down". In between you get classics like "Don't Be Cruel", "Hound Dog", "All Shook Up", "Jailhouse Rock", "Can't Help Falling in Love", "In the Ghetto", "Suspicious Minds", and "Burning Love"! Just about every song is a classic.
This release includes a bonus CD with various mixes of "A Little Less Conversation". While this is a nice package, it is kind of pricey. You can get the US release much cheaper.

Free Music Review: 1st Class Audio, Slightly Missed Opportunity Hit: 5 StarsI have tortured over whether this DVD-A release of Elvis Presley deserves a 4 rating or a 5. It seems a bit unfair to award a 4 though, as it's been beautifully and carefully mixed for 5.1 sound. Apart from that, anyone that releases music on a hi-res format (DVD-A or SACD) deserves to be praised in my opinion. It's high time that the standard CD died out, and made way for these better formats. On the other hand, this release is a bit of a missed opportunity, as it doesn't offer any other audio options, apart from compressed Dolby Digital 5.1 or high definition MLP 5.1. Although this means that anyone with a DVD player can play this disc (something to be praised), why weren't stereo and/or mono options offered? This is exactly what was offered on the superb Beach Boys Pet Sounds DVD-A. Such options surely widen the appeal of these releases, pleasing both those that insist that music should be released in the originally released format, but also offering a new twist for those that like surround mixed music. As mentioned briefly before though, I feel the 5.1 mix has been very subtly arranged, creating a very "delicate" surround feel.
What else do you get for your money? Well, the disc comes in a standard CD jewel case, as opposed to the more common DVD-A Super Jewel Box. It appears to have a generic booklet supplied, which would have also been provided with the CD release, and a one sheet sleeve mentioning the benefits of DVD Audio. All the tracks listed by Amazon amount to about 80 minutes of music - which is good. A slight pity that absolutely no video or on screen info is provided about the disc, but at least somebody had the confidence to do a DVD-A release in the first place. We need a lot more hi-res releases!!
