24 songs on this cd not 15

Yeah, I also have 24 songs on this cd myself, not 15 songs as amazon.com thinks this cd has. But even though; just the more pleasure for those who order this cd and think they only get 15 songs. But I agree with Jon Thor, this is only for the outmost hardcore Elvis fans

Great Series For The Elvis Fan

This is a great, if mistitled, series. Volume 3 is subtitled 'Hits Like Never Before' which is only partially true - I only see 10 or so actual hits, out of the 24 tracks, but that's not really important. If you're more than just a casual Elvis fan, you should probably start out with the 3 big box sets covering the 50's, 50's, and 70's - which really do present the "essential" Elvis - before venturing into the 6 volume Essential series, or some of the other "alternate takes" offerings. But once you do, it's fascinating to see how the songs evolved, or in some cases did not. Some of the tracks actually differ very little from the ones finally selected for release. Another interesting aspect of these recordings is the between-take chatter between Elvis and the studio band (and the engineers/producers). He certainly seems to be, or wants to appear to be, in charge of the sessions. The booklet for Volume 3 has some interesting tidbits (e.g. Dick Clark informing Elvis that "King Creole" has been voted Best Record of 1958) and photos (Elvis strumming guitars with Faron Young).

This cd has more songs!

I agree with Jon; this cd is only for the most hardcore fans! And it has 24 songs, not 15!!!
