The Franklin Mint set went with a themed approach rather than listing the songs chronologically as was done on TCM... it makes for a more pleasant listening experience...Sweet-Angeline wrote: August 3rd, 2025, 1:33 pm I picked this up recently in used condition but everything in it is in excellent shape so very happy with it. I already had the other version from Sony so of course it`s all duplication, but I must say I like how they titled some of these CDs and in particular the contents related to that CD, some are quite clever. Anyone else have this as well??
did not know this...do you remember what CD it was?? I am not complaining too much as I picked this up on eBay for $250 US fundsKeth wrote: August 3rd, 2025, 6:10 pm I got this set when it first came out, and it came out before the Sony set, so you could say the Sony set had duplications of this set, rather than the other way around.
I bought it, but got it sent to Memphis, to Jordan's house, as they didn't post to the UK, and then he posted it to me in the UK.
There was an error on one of the discs so they repressed it. The thing is with the Franklin Mint though, they don't just send you a replacement disc, they send you a brand new set, with replacement disc!
So, in effect, I got two sets for the price of one, and I let Jordan keep one - winner,
I sold my set last year when I got offered £2500 for it. I paid £700 for it originally, so I sold it, as I still have my Sony set.
Well I know for a fact that the replacement disc, along with a brand new full set including the box, was sent to me for some reason. Jordan still has the replacement set I told him to keep, as far as I know, and he sent the replacement disc to me.MysteryTrain wrote: August 4th, 2025, 10:25 am I got a replacement disc 6 ("Heartaches") too; however, I did not get a completely new set of discs. For some reason, The Franklin Mint, replaced the box the discs came in with a slightly larger box. I never could figure out the reason for the replacement box.

I played this CD today (Heartaches) and my copy was fine so mine must be a later edition.MysteryTrain wrote: August 4th, 2025, 10:25 am I got a replacement disc 6 ("Heartaches") too; however, I did not get a completely new set of discs.

...for 250 $$$ I can deal with itMysteryTrain wrote: August 6th, 2025, 5:26 am John, I found this on the Internet:
"She's Not You fades about seven seconds early on the original pressing. Replacement discs were delivered to buyers. Ernst Jorgensen has said this error will not be present on the Complete Masters."

Check disc 6 “Heartaches.” If track 9 (“She’s Not You”) abruptly ends with “And it’s just breaking …” you have the defective disc.Sweet-Angeline wrote: August 6th, 2025, 5:29 am...for 250 $$$ I can deal with itMysteryTrain wrote: August 6th, 2025, 5:26 am John, I found this on the Internet:

Thanks for that. I have the complete version. In checking, I notice that there is what sounds like a finger snap right at the end after El stops singing. This is also on quite a few other CDs. Bizarrely it's on the FTD Pot Luck master, but not on the Pot Luck Sessions master on disc 1, but it is on the master on disc 5. It's no big deal, nothing to get excited about, it's just an observation.MysteryTrain wrote: August 6th, 2025, 5:26 am John, I found this on the Internet:

I kept the defective disc. At the end of "She's Not You" Elvis sings "And it's just breaking . . ." It ends there.
