Yes, as mentioned, there are Welcome to My World and Viva Las Vegas – although both have been released separately in jewel case format.<\/p>\n
One disc not available elsewhere is the bringing together on one disc of Follow that Dream, Kid Galahad, and Flaming Star soundtracks on one disc. But all of that material is available elsewhere, of course.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, there are inconsistencies and mistakes, most notably in the 20 Original Albums set. The audio on that box is sourced from all over the place – the 2007 remasters on some, but also some from nearly two decades prior to that (such as the original CD release of On Stage).<\/p>\n Some albums are the 18-track versions from, IIRC, the late 1990s.<\/p>\n The Promised Land disc is the one from around 2000, which also includes 8 bonus tracks from Good Times. But the Good Times album is also included in the box.<\/p>\n The Moody Blue version here is the one from 2000, which omits Let Me Be There, but contains the whole of the Boulevard album. And yet the Boulevard album is also included separately in the set, too.<\/p>\n IIRC. The soundtrack box is all from the 2007 remasters. But there are mistakes here, too. On the aforementioned Follow that Dream\/Kid Galahad disc, I recall there being a mix up either in the tracklisting or on the disc (I can’t remember which). And I seem to recall Double Trouble mistakenly used the back cover of the FTD release as the back cover of the card case.<\/p>\n These two sets were useful when they came out, but I don’t really see any need for them with the 60CD already out there.<\/p>\n Aloha From Hawaii” in the box-set is the Dick Baxter Version from 1992. It offers a slightly better sound than the Vic Anesini version. Of course it’s also available separately in a jewel case format.<\/p>\n “Elvis For Everyone” is a unique version. It includes the original electronically reprocessed (ERS) version of “Tomorrow Night”. Otherwise it’s the same as the 2014 FTD release. “The Album Collection” offers a different version. In fact, all the so far released versions of “Elvis For Everyone” on CD offer quite a lot of differences. Here they are:<\/p>\n \n1989 Bertelsmann Club Edition<\/p>\n 01 Your Cheatin’ Heart (Mono) \n1990 US and 1991 Japan CD (Dick Baxter)<\/p>\n 01 Your Cheatin’ Heart (Mono remastered, with reverb) \n1995 Elvis In The 90s \u2013 US\/Canada\/EU\/Japan (also Dick Baxter)<\/p>\n 01 Your Cheatin’ Heart (Mono, without reverb, \u201eComplete 50’s Masters\u201c) \n2012 20 Original Albums (Box) <\/p>\n 01 Your Cheatin’ Heart (2007 Master Mono) \n2014 Follow That Dream<\/p>\n 01 Your Cheatin’ Heart (2007 Master Mono) \n2016 The Album Collection (Box)<\/p>\n 01 Your Cheatin’ Heart (2007 Master Mono) PMP is right, the Follow That Dream\/Kid Galahad\/Flaming Star disc lists the song A Whistling Tune two times (for TFD and for KG) but it appears only one time (for KG). It should be noted that all the songs of Follow That Dream are in mono, except Angel. \n1) Roustabout – written by Bob Tubert & Margie Singleton. 2) Roustabout – written by Fred Wise-Randy Starr. \n1) Roustabout – written by Bob Tubert & Margie Singleton. 2) Roustabout – written by Fred Wise-Randy Starr. nstead of the original back with its 12 songs list. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fun in Acapulco<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FIA<\/p>\n 2019 FTD Mix Vs. FTD 24 Vs Double Features mix.<\/p>\n \u201cMarguerita\u201d.<\/p>\n First 28 seconds (intro)<\/p>\n In the opening seconds, while this instruments appear to be in the same space in the soundstage, there is a marked difference in the right channel, the acoustic guitar picking out notes varies in clarity and volume;<\/p>\n 2019 FTD Mix : loud and clear The brass is also sharper and cleaner, as are the maracas.<\/p>\n For the backing vocals it, is the same story;<\/p>\n \n2019 FTD Mix : loud and clear As for EP\u2019s vocal, the difference is less obvious, but it is slightly clearer, sharper than the FTD 24 Mix and way better than the double features mix.<\/p>\n \u201cFun In Acapulco\u201d<\/p>\n The observations given above apply here too, everything is sharper, clearer in the new set. \u201cBossa Nova Baby\u201d.<\/p>\n Again, as with the previous the 2019 set is superior. In conclusion, this 2019 set is the best yet (IMHO), followed by FTD 24, last of all the miserable Double Features mix.<\/p>\n I only performed the comparison the comparison for these three songs.<\/p>\n Just my opinion, for what it is worth.<\/p>\n Yeah, the Double Features CDs generally had a lot of reverb added to them to make them “smoother” – which works\/worked better on some songs\/releases than others, but reverb will definitely lessen clarity (in general, especially that 90’s digital stuff).<\/p>\n As for why it sounds better than the old FTD, the easy answer is: Lene Reidel (old FTD) vs Vic & Sebastian (new FTD). Not that she’s bad, but Elvis’s material just wasn’t a good fit for her, imo.<\/p>\n Just a short note to say the ftd 24 is not a remix but a remaster of the original 2 track master tape.<\/p>\n I’m a Roustabout<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nIn the years between the two releases a better source was found.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Correct. The first source found was from the collection of songwriter Winfield Scott. The second and superior source came from the estate of musical director Joseph Lilley.<\/p>\n \nYes, our other member does carefully read what others post here. In the case of the original “Roustabout” FTD was able to access the disc which surfaced in an auction by Mary S. Lilley<\/strong>, daughter of Paramount producer Joseph J. Lilley<\/strong>. It was part of his estate. The previously-unknown “Shoppin’ Around” (BO – take 14), from the 1960 Paramount film “G.I. Blues,” was recovered in the same fashion.<\/p>\n here are more demo versions with Roustabout known after cutting track GO (I\u2019m a) Roustabout from the movie before the final version (track NO) written by Giant-Baum-Kaye came around the corner in april-may 1964:<\/p>\n \n1) Roustabout – written by Bob Tubert & Margie Singleton. 2) Roustabout – written by Fred Wise-Randy Starr. <\/p>\n
\nThe other is the Jailhouse Rock<\/span> discs which, IIRC, has the tracklisting of a South African LP of the same name.<\/p>\n

\nThat said, I love the box. It has each disc in a cardboard package and it comes with a 35 pages booklet listing the songs of each disc.<\/p>\n
\n
\nFTD 24 Mix : clear but much lower volume
\nDouble Features mix : barely audible.<\/p>\n
\nFTD 24 Mix : clear, but not as \u201csharp\u201d
\nDouble Features mix : dull in comparison.<\/p>\n
\nMakes the double features mix seem awful. Really, the difference between the 2019 mix and the DF mix is astounding. Less of a difference when comparing FTD 24 to the 2019 FTD, but the 2019 set is superior.<\/p>\n
\nThe difference between the 2019 and FTD 24 is marginal, all the instruments are in the same place, but the acoustic guitar in the right channel seems slightly brighter.
\nElvis vocal is a little stronger in the mix (very little).
\nThe DF mix\/mastering is again just awful by comparison.<\/p>\n
