Yes power, for a few songs but the rest of the songs are weak. Elvis should´ve take a rest and recorded the songs in a better mood. That´s my opinion.

We gotta face the thruth here... As long there are fans that are willing to part with their earned money, they will keep issuing them. I guess the next move (in not so near future) will be alternate edits of previously released songs etc. But it will end at some point.

I'm not the least bit interested. Really dislike the cover and photo,

A typo in that I believe Star and not Stax supposedly ruin the collection. I find his voice superb during this period and unusually for me create a CD exclusively from these sessions and year. To me there are at least 23 more than acceptable original songs here.
