This is an amazing box collection and along with Elvis Presley you also have input from Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, The Jordanaires, The Imperials, The Nashville Edition, J.D. Sumner & The Stamps, The Sweet Inspirations, Kathy Westmoreland, Sherrill Neilsen.
The compilation producers were Ernst Mikael Jorgensen, Roger Semon and it was recorded between 1956 & 1977. The box set also includes liner notes by Cheryl Thurber.
As with mainy things nowadays it was digitally remastered by Dennis Ferrante & Lene Reidel.

*********MY OPINION************
I have to say that I have been an avid fan of Elvis from an early age. I have always loved the gospel aspect of his career. I have many many CD's of his, but when I bought this set I was really pleasantly surprised. It has such an amazing array of songs. I would definately say to buy this set if you really want a complete compilation of his gospel tunes.

****************GOSPEL MUSIC & ELVIS ************************
Southern gospel is a intensely rhythmic devotional music, it is obvious the powerful impression this left on a young Elvis (it is a known fact that he often sang gospel tunes to warm-up for recording session and concerts.) Elvis's gospel music has always been a favourite with his fans, and this set means you can get all those Gospel classics on one set of 3 CD's. This set contains all of Elvis Grammy awards that he received, ironic that Elvis was and is still known as the King Of Rock'n'Roll, yet the 3 Grammy's were all for his Gospel recordings. How Great Thou Art - Album, He Touched Me - Album & How Great Thou Art - Live recording from Memphis in 1974. This set has all this material plus his first gospel tracks from the 50's including his rendition of "Peace In The Valley" from his last appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in January of 1957. Also for a better look into Elvis musical roots, we are treated to a few Home Recordings, which show Elvis relaxing and singing songs that he felt happy singing.

You could do with including a bit more opinion of the tracks - not all of them or you would be here till christmas but certainly those which are your favourites and those which you aren't as keen on.

Sorry for the low rating, but there's little info here that couldn't be found on the album cover. Tia. xxx
