Elvis: Collectors Gold - 1991 (3 Disc Box Set)

3114-1-R

No. 0005174 of 10,000

Limited National Edition

I purchased this box set sealed in January 2013. I opened it, but I never played the records.  All of the discs were handled like precious jewels and the playing surfaces are in pristine, unplayed condition with no scratches (please see photos). The booklet and the box were handled using archival gloves so there are no smudges or fingerprints. I also saved the "Numbered Limited Edition" sticker and the price sticker.  This box set is very rare because it was released in a numbered, "Limited National Edition" of 10,000 and is extremely hard to find in pristine condition.

So go ahead and order!  You'll be so glad you did!  Believe me--You will be pleased!

"Collectors Gold" provides fans with a unique glimpse of Elvis at work in the studio and on stage in the legendary cities that made him an icon of pop culture: Hollywood, Nashville and Las Vegas.

Uncovered by BMG executives Ernst Mikael Jorgensen and Roger Semon during a 1989/1990 vault search, the never before heard takes from the Hollywood and Nashville sessions on discs 1 and 2 reveal Elvis the musician, honing his craft. You'll hear different song arrangements employed, some alternate approaches to now familiar vocal lines and even a magic moment or two of Elvis' down-home demeanor as he comments on the proceedings and jokes around with the band. Disc 3 will delight concert fans with live material from Elvis' 1969 appearances at the International Hotel in Las Vegas.

Elvis has indeed left behind a colorful and fascinating legacy of unreleased recordings, as well as a fervently loyal legion of fans!  With that in mind the poducers have decided to salute these fans with a unique and intimate look at Elvis through the 60's:
