Elvis That's The Way It Is-

What can I say W.O.W and that’s too small a word. What’s it really like – well 11 out of 10 for packaging and, contents look stunning, I was fortunate to see & hear previews and that was great, but to have the finished product in my hands, I feel lucky, as I know for a fact there is going to be a lot of disappointed fans, who were waiting until it was released before ordering or trying to order a copy, and are going to find it very hard to find a copy, as from what I have heard its SOLD OUT. And most dealers had most of there initial orders on pre-order, so happy hunting One other note, I got my copy rushed through along with a few others, so it’s just a case of patience if your waiting for it I am told 95% of fans will have there’s by this time next week. Plus here is a couple of photos of the set next to BMC Box set Close up so you can compare sizes And remember the DVD's are Duel Layer Discs so it like your getting 6 DVD's so when it comes to the time of getting DVD-R copies if you miss out on this set the Discs 99% of the time will be shrunk to fit on one disc, as not many if anyone is going to take the time to copy a duel layer disc to another duel layer disc.. As it takes just too long to do.. As the discs are duel layered and multi angle we are getting well over 20 hours of footage with up to 3 angles at any one time on the screen. It’s real cool seeing all the angles at one time on the screen. all matched to the sound perfect, what ever cleaver soul that did that must have the patients of a saint, my hat goes off to this person, I wish I had half the skill..

this set knocks the socks off the 11 DVD set 6 DVD set 10 CD set 24 DVD set 32 DVD set you won't be disappointed in quality here, its not 100% but is a good bit better than anything I have seen before on various versions including one of the first that was to ever escape, that was rated as the best available. I have watched the DVD's a few times over the past three months, and I am still amazed at the way the editing/sound picture looks.

The 3 DVD’s you mention are in fact equivalent to 6 DVD’s as they are dual layered. Relevant especially when if you mention the 35 DVD’s which are not. Also bear in mind, most of those DVD’s had different camera angles footage of the same segments spread out over many discs, including green screen & silent sections and some with short running times.. On this set you see all the angles at the same time. That must have taken hours upon hours of doing and synching and from what I can see, there is no missing footage. That knocks out all of those 35 or so DVD’s already. Basically these guys have painstakingly taken out all the crap from those initial discs and given us everything that’s there including as you’ll see some material that isn’t. As for is it really complete or in a few months will more footage appear, that’s the million dollar question, its obvious it not Complete, as all the footage shot back in 1970 was scattered all over the place, and very large chunks are still missing so anything is possible, I personally hope that more footage dose turn up, but TTWII The Complete Works from The International Label is as Complete as were are going to get it for a while I suspect.. Here is what was posted a few months ago that give a better insight to what’s on the Duel Layer discs Elvis: That's The Way It Is - The Complete Works - 6CD/DVD/book set - Video (including quality) Update: EIN received the following message: Details of the Video Footage: I've just had the opportunity to watch the 9+ hours of video (exhausting but intriguing as well) and think I can provide some accurate details to the questions being asked: -the focus of the video is Elvis. If a camera angle with Elvis in it exists, then that is what is seen on the screen. The picture quality is the best you will ever have seen of these outtakes (and I've purchased over 50 discs of this material over the last few years spending over $1,500). The footage has either come from an earlier generation copy or has been extensively remastered to improve sharpness/colour/reduce graininess, etc (or both). It is not as good as SE of course (except for the portions in the edits borrowed from the original discs) but significantly better than what we have had before. The edits are all created 'new' from scratch. Nothing has been taken from previous Star or other releases. There is at least 3 hours of new footage without "Propert of ..." and perhaps about 30 minutes of footage never before seen. Some of the completely 'new' footage that I can remember includes: "Something" from Aug 10; "some extra telegram" reading: "Love Me Tender" complete from Aug 12ds without Property..; "Lovin' Feeling" complete from Aug 12ds ( T T WII SE was a splice of Aug 12ds and Aug 11ds); "new extra dialogue" before 20 days on Aug 12ds; "extra dialogue" before H Hotel on Aug 12ds; "H Dog" from Aug 12 ms but mainly the band; "dialogue and complete instrumental" before and after Polk Salad Aug 12ms "H Hotel" Aug 12ms (to this date I've never seen the first bar of the song with Elvis in the picture, always the audience "Love Me/Words/Lonesome T onight" Aug 12ms without Property.. 'Lot of New dialogue before Wonder of You" Aug 13ds "Can't Help Falling" more complete Aug 11ds "Love Me Tender" Aug 11ms "Believing" Aug 11ms "I'll Take you Home Kathleen"-few lines Aug 7 rehearsal "Lot of clips" with original sound from Aug 14MS that were new to me. Probably a lot more but these clips stood out in my mind. There is no cropping of any pictures. In the 3 angle sequences, the main angle is raised to the top where the widescreen black bars would normally be seen. The 2 additional angles are at 50% size and below the main normal sized angle. Talking about angles, there are lots of new angles thoughout that I had not seen before Sound throughout is excellent to my ears except with Aug 14MS which is 'camera' sound. T he rest has to be from BMG source but the mix is different. Live material played surround on a dolby digital 2x receiver. -3 angle screens seem to be in perfect synch -picture looked very good on a 65 inch screen and better than what I've seen before -some of the songs (perhaps 5-6) do not have original Elvis footage but rather nicely created videos from candid/band/audience/Vegas clips to create more complete shows for Aug 11 and 12. All the rest are complete Elvis songs presented in multi angle and single angle depending on what was available. Don't expect Turner quality throughout Expect better quality than you've ever seen before Expect excellent sound in stereo (except for rehearsals which are a combination. Expect perfect synchs Expect complete songs in order Expect lots of new footage without Property.. Expect seamless transitions from multi angle to single angle Expect a box set that you will value for many years to come Expect to be able to see where Turner/MGM did their splices and the proper order here. I'm away to watch the Rehearsals so I'll be awhile...
