"This site shows the photo of the first limited edition release box set, released in England, however, on ordering and receiving this set you do not receive the large box set but rather the second slim line release box set.The slim line is lacking the inner sleeves and the CD's do not have printed spines. It still features all 18 CD's It is a very nice collection but this photo as displayed on this site is deceiving and you will not receive the large square box as pictured. Also not mentioned is that on the "Viva Las Vegas" single , the B/W is not the original studio "What'd I Say' but a live rehearsal version from circa 1970(a fantastic version, by the way)unreleased anywhere else! A pleasant mistake by RCA for all the Elvis fans. This site has been contacted but no correction as of yet. That is why the price of $53.00 sounds so good-because this is the slim line 2nd releasewhich is about half of the size ot the first edition. As for packing and so forthh , it was excellent and the service ws fast, but the product was the wrong item. If you are looking for the first original box set I would not buy here or at least verify with this company exactly what they are selling. They did answer my E-Mail detailing the mistake but no changes have bee made to this site so far."

"This is a collection of 18 singles. It includes many of Elvis' biggest hits reissued with the original 45 single covers and B-sides plus bonus tracks. While the music in this set is great, these songs are available on various Elvis "greatest hits" CDs for a much cheaper price. This is for Elvis collectors only."
