am 26.september 1984 erscheint a golden celebration,sechs lp's (1998 ein 4 cd-box-set) mit einigen sun outtakes, elvis live in tupelo(vor exakt achtundzwanzig jahren) und privataufnahmen. zwar ist die tonqualität erbärmlich, aber die einzigartigkeit des materials macht vieles wett. my heart cries for you mit elvis am piano hat hübschen mehrstimmigen gesang mit elvis als leadsänger. gleiches gilt für dark moon unter den begleitern fällt charlie hodg auf, während elvis mit viel einfühlungavermögen nur den refrain singt. schön. neben diesen beiden songs fällt write me from naples ab. die harmonie ist wieder da, aber es gelingt elvis nicht, diesem schmalzigen lied mehr format einzuhauchen. die golden-box wird zwar kein knüller wie die silber-box im jahr 1980, aber platz 80 bei billboard ist für eine box mit sechs lp's durchaus eindrucksvoll, zumal sie neunzehn wochen lang notiert bleibt.
