Lossless Album - CD Box Set

24 Carat Gold is Elvis Presley at his best. And we all know how good that is. 24 Carat Gold is a wonderful document of the period where Elvis had returned from the Army and was getting back into the swing of things, supplemented with some late sixties movie outtakes. It's a two CD set, the first contains complete and near-perfect takes, mainly from the Nashville recording sessions, the second consists of several outtakes of some of the same songs. Right at the beginning, with the two snare drum hits that start up Fame And Fortune, it becomes clear that this CD set is a special one. The sound quality is absolutely stunning, and although take 5 is quite similar to the released version, it's like hearing Fame And Fortune for the very first time. Next is take 2 of Gently, with Elvis almost singing bass during the verses, desperately looking for that low note. Needless to say, eventually, he gets it. The breathtaking sound quality and track selection make this an essential double CD.
