Worth it if only because of the bonus CD and the booklet

I have become aware of this "Special Edition" rummaging through Amazon. The classic version of the album I had at home. But for 1 Euro on the Amazon Marketplace I had to slam easily. Mich had the bonus disc curious. As a collector you are always on the hunt for Elvis rarities. And this double CD put up a small book really is a beautiful trophy. CD 1 is simply known that everyone knows. On the second CD contains 14 alternative versions or the samples of songs. In 2 or 3 songs you have the feeling to be "live" in the studio here. For me, really nice is the "Vocal-only" version of "In the Ghetto". The booklet includes in addition to the 2 CDs and a class picture of Alfred Wertheimer. Peter Guralnick, provides a fitting introduction to the two CDs. There are also about the individual songs always little stories about the origin and when they were published. And I'm the same opinion as Elvis expert Only Mikael Jorgensen with his concluding remarks to the Special Edition. To limit the music of Elvis on 80 CD-minutes, really prepares head and heart pain.
