New FTD - MAKING OF G.I. BLUES

[Mike C]

The packaging of the cd's is not that nice as previous boxsets.
See example Jailhouse Rock / G.I.Blues
Looks cheap.

I think it's better. The CDs are better protected and slide out easily against the plastic backing.

I think so, too. I actually used rice paper sleeves to put the cds in before putting them back in the book. That worked well.

Playing this release now, and I really enjoy it despite there being nothing really new on it.
I could live without the instrumental tracks, though…I always skip them on any releases.

but Elvis might be playing tuba, or flugelhorn on one of them.

Dont care about that

Very little talk about this release….many havent gotten it yet

I just received the set late last week but have not yet had time to dive into it. Just wish the outer packing of was a bit stronger. My set came with dents caused by shipping internationally. I don't blame my Elvis dealer for this -- I blame FTD. A little thicker cardboard would work wonders.

Anyone had despatch notifications from NDT yet. Still showing as pre-order on their site.

Mine was shipped internationally. There was so much packaging it took me about half an hour to remove it.

Good to hear they packed it well. Thanks.
