ELVIS "THAT'S THE WAY IT IS" FTD Label CD 2008...BUY IT!

[littlewolf]

Thanks for this!
It's an easy choice for me,this new set.
Main reason why i didn't buy the 3-cd set was the inclusion of the live cd.
I try to avoid his live records,of the 5 released during his life,
i listen to 1 somewhat often,2 sometimes and 2 practically never.
Those 5 are quite enough for me.

The alternate takes that FTD have been releasing during the last years
are also something that i tread carefully.
It's a never ending sea if you get caught there and those versions are largely so similar to released versions,i find them mostly useless.
Many times he got the song in first take,so the rest are just his desire to go over the song again,not to find new angles to them.

Rehearsal versions are more tempting.
