Die Box ist häßlich.
Nicht nur das s/w Foto wie ich schon schrieb. Aber okay, daran ist man mittlerweile gewöhnt.
Aber die bringen es nichtmal auf der De Luxe Box fertig, ordentliche Picture Discs zu drucken, mit Ausnahme der DVD's. Was ist denn das? Auf jeder VÖ der letzten Jahre nur die nackte Schrift auf den CD im Stile der FTD. Selbst bei FTD fand ich nach der dritten Veröffentlichung die beknackten nackten Schriftaufdrucke auf den 7'' Formaten auf den CD zum kotzen und gar nicht mehr stylish.
Sorry, ich kann in das Jubelgeschrei nicht einstimmen, denn unterm Strich bleibt: 130 Euro für 2 Konzerte, die man bisher nicht in der Sammlung hat.
Und ich wette, die kommen auf FTD auch noch, und genauso wette ich, das in 5 Jahren eine abgespeckkte Version von weit unter 100 Euro ohne DVD auf den Markt kommt.
Und die Box nur zu kaufen, damit man sie unter "haben" abspeichern kann, ist mir langsam auch zu albern. Ich bin aus dem Alter raus.
Wenn die bereits vorhandenen Shows nicht remixed sind kaufe ich den Dreck nicht. Das ist reine Abzocke.
Schämen sollte man sich bei Sony. So schön eine solche Komplettsammlung auch ist, das weiß ich durchaus zu würdigen.
Aber von der Box-Gestaltung der "Complete Wroks" ist dieses ärmliche "De Luxe" Böxchen meilenweit entfernt.
Nochmal zur Erinnerung: DAS verdient den Name "De Luxe" zumindest in der Boxgestaltung:
Steht aber gaaaanz dick daruf, auf der CD "STEREO", was bei der "Complete Works" leider in die Hose gegangen ist!!!!. In dieser Hinsicht war es damals auch 'ne nette "Verarschung" seitens International Labels (wer oder was auch immer sich dahinter verbirgt), denn für "20 EUR" war das Dingen auch nicht zu haben..
FTD STEREO RECORDS may be played on any modern Phonograph with a lightweight tone arm. You will hear excellent sound reproduktion on a mono Player and full stereo sound on a stereo Player.

Das stimmt, vom technischen Inhalt der Complete Works brauchen wir gar nicht reden, das ist es nicht wert, und der Preis war eine Frdchheit. Ebenfalls reine Abzocke. Darum sprach ich auch nur von der Boxgestaltung. Die war exakt so, wie ich mir das von einer De Luxe Komplettausgabe vorstelle. Das trifft auch auf die Gestaltung der CD's zu.
Man kann sich ja beide anschaffen, und den Sony Inhalt in der CW unterbringen. Dann kommts dem Ideal recht Nahe
Und soweit ich mich erinnere war doch in der CW auch ein fettes Booklet drin, und nicht so ein schmales Heftchen wie in Sonys "De Luxe".
Boah bricht mich das an. Auch das innere Klappcover wieder diese ekligen s/w Fotos. In dem Sinne, das ich die nicht mehr sehen kann. Es gibt so arschgeile Shots von Elvis aus Vegas 70 in Farbe. Was würde die Box her machen, wäre da schonmal alles farbig gestaltet. Dazu ordentliche Picture Discs mit Acitonshots von Elvis. Auch Farbe, und nicht dieser dämliche 2 Farbdruck der DVD. Das macht schon einen ganz anderen Eindruck. Andauernd wird Elvis schlechter verkauft, als es möglich wäre. Immer dieser bescheuerte "Minimalismus"-Style und die zum x-ten Male abgegriffen Fotos, nur um Geld zu sparen. Nochmal: Das ist nicht das Wichtigste, entscheidend sind die Tonträger, die bei Sony immer Top sind. Aber das muss man auch ordentlich verkaufen verdammt nochmal.
Ich habe die complete Works damals nicht gekauft und bin nun froh darüber. ICh denke für 99,- Euro kann man sich die Legacy Box dann schon schnappen...BEim Design reißen die sich kein Bein aus, alles schön klassisch...ist okay.
Mein Gott, ihr redet da von Verarschung etc. Wie glücklich bin und war ich über die Complete Works! ( und über die restlichen Stunden TTWII )
Da hast du ja auch Recht, aber die technische Qualität stand in keinem Verhältnis zum Preis der Box. Die Boxgestaltung rechtfertigt das auch nicht.
Möchte mal wissen wieso die Sony Box 130 Ocken kostet. Im Vergleich zu anderen Boxen dürfte sie nicht mehr wie 100 Euro kosten. Die 8 CDs allein samt Box würden, rechnet man das auf andere Box-Formate um (siehe Prince Box), zwischen 70 und 80 Euro kosten müssen. Selbst die DVDs dürften den Preis nicht so hochtreiben, die bekommt man schon für 10 Euro offiziell.
Naja warten wirs mal ab. Noch steht der Preis ja nicht fest.
... Die Box ist häßlich ... Nicht nur das s/w Foto ... denn unterm Strich bleibt: 130 Euro für 2 Konzerte, die man bisher nicht in der Sammlung hat ... die kommen auf FTD auch noch ... eine abgespeckkte Version ...
Ich auch. Im Endeffekt kriegen wir eine Box die nichts besonderes darstellt und für die ich, rein von der Optik, keine 5,- bezahlen würde. Dazu zwei CD`s mit offiziell neuem Material. Eine Veröffentlichung der beiden Shows auf FTD hätte vollkommen gereicht.
Wiir Fans sind natürlich selber Schuld wenn wir uns seit JAHREN immer wieder das gleiche Material nochmal und nochmal verkaufen lassen. Das man das dann so weiter führt ist doch klar.
Ich hätte die beiden Shows gerne noch in bestmöglicher Qualität im Schrank gehabt, aber doch nicht für den PreisLächerlich, leider.
In 1970, Elvis Presley fans were thrilled by the arrival of two cultural milestones: one an album, the other a full-length concert/documentary and each of them called Elvis: That's The Way It Is. Since then, aficionados of Elvis have been clamoring for a package that included both the album and the film. On Tuesday, August 5, 2014, Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release That's The Way It Is (Deluxe Edition), the most ambitious Elvis Presley restoration package ever created, bringing togetherfor the first time everthe album, the theatrical and home video versions of the film, six full-length concerts (featuring previously unreleased performances), rehearsal highlights and other rare recordings in one astounding and essential package. The result of an historic partnership between Sony Music and Warner Brothers Home Video, the deluxe set combines the video and audio assets of Elvis: That's The Way It Is with unique and previously unreleased material.
A highly-collectible 8CD/2DVD box set, That's The Way It Is (Deluxe Edition), marks the first time the 1970 documentary and album have been available in a single package, with bonuses including unreleased material, remixed and remastered audio and a new 80-page book detailing the entire event with facts, songwriter and musician interviews, and photos in a deluxe 8CD/2DVD box set. A 2CD Legacy Edition of Elvis: That's The Way It Is will also be available. Elvis: That's The Way It Is (Deluxe Edition) is available for pre-order now on shopElvisMatters.com.
Originally released on RCA Records in November 1970, Elvis: That's The Way It Is combined eight studio tracks, recorded in Nashville, and four live concert performances recorded in Las Vegas during Presley's 1970 "Summer Festival" season at The International Hotel in Las Vegas to create what the All Music Guide has called "...one of his best..." and "essential listening for Elvis fans, both die-hard and casual."
Though never considered a soundtrack album, Elvis: That's The Way It Is was initially released to accompany the first theatrical run of "Elvis: That's The Way It Is," a 1970 documentary feature, directed by Denis Sanders, which combined on-stage, off-stage and behind-the-scenes footage in Presley's first non-dramatic film since his 1956 Hollywood movie debut. In the documentary, Sanders captured and illuminated a pivotal moment in Elvis' transformation from teen idol to consummate showman, Memphis meets Vegas via Hollywood, the King's return to full concert performances after years of film stardom.
Elvis Presley had made a dramatic comeback two years prior to these shows in a transcendent NBC-TV special, which aired in December 1968. The International Hotel, then-newly-built and the largest live venue in Las Vegas, booked Presley for an unprecedented 57 show run in July 1969, a four-week-long residency that would raise the bar and set the standard for superstar entertainment in Vegas and beyond. "There are several unbelievable things about Elvis, but the most incredible is his staying power in a world where meteoric careers fade like shooting stars," Newsweek wrote of his incredible new approach to live performance at the time, while Rolling Stone lauded Elvis as "supernaturalhis own resurrection."
Early in 1970, Elvis returned to Vegas for a second engagement at the International, with RCA recording songs for the then forthcoming On Stage, February 1970. Elvis was on a roll and making big plansincluding a feature filmsurrounding what would be his third Las Vegas engagement, scheduled for the summer of 1970
On June 4, 1970, Elvis arrived at RCA's Studio B in Nashville, where producer Felton Jarvis had assembled a hot new session band featuring Elvis' on-stage guitar legend James Burton. Five nights of recording generated material for no less than three future albums and four singles, including Elvis: That's The Way It Is and the essential Elvis Country album.
On July 14, rehearsals for the movie and live shows commenced at the MGM lot in Culver City, California. The Hollywood cameras rolled for five different rehearsals prior to the opening night on August 10, including augmentation run-throughs with the singers and the orchestra at the hotel. Unquestionably, Elvis was keen to broaden his repertoire for the film, as more than 60 songs were attempted during the period, far more than the usual average of 20 to 25 that would normally be chosen. Over the four nights filmed by MGM, Elvis and his band worked tirelessly, trying out a broad variety of musical styles, emphasizing his desire to share the wide range of music he loved with his audience. Director Denis Sanders captured the end result magnificently, providing fans throughout the world with their first glimpse of the new contemporary Elvis performing at the peak of his vocal prowess both in rehearsal and on the stage.
That's The Way It Is (Deluxe Edition) centers on the six complete shows recorded and partially filmed by MGM. Two of the shows are released for the first time in their entirety, two more have only been available only through the mail-order Elvis fan-club network. The original RCA album is expanded with the four single sides from the period, and a selection of "fly-on-the-wall" outtakes from the June Nashville sessions that produced the majority of tracks for the album. Completing the audio section, a separate disc of insightful rehearsal highlights, featuring unusual song selections showcases both the hard work and the playful atmosphere that governed Elvis' relationship with his musicians.
The original Elvis: That's The Way It Is includes fiery renditions of "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," previously a hit for Dusty Springfield; "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin,'" made famous by The Righteous Brothers, and a show-stopping rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." The original album and singles will fill Disc One of the new edition, with six CDs worth of concert performances and one of rehearsal takes from the Summer of '70 International Hotel residency.
That's The Way It Is (Deluxe Edition) puts the original RCA album and the 1970 MGM documentary feature together in a single package for the first time. It includes both the original theatrical DVD version (1970) and the re-edited and extended DVD version from 2000.
