"Elvis fans, rejoice! The '68 TV special that relaunched Elvis Presley's career and burned itself into our collective memories is back, and it's bigger and better than ever. The size of an LP record and almost an inch thick, this spectacular package (5 CDs, 2 Blu-Ray discs and an 80-page book) reminds us exactly why he was called The King. At the time this TV Special was conceived, however, he was a King in exile: no hits, mediocre movies he hated, and he hadn't performed in nearly 10 years ... The CDs include the original album plus bonus cuts (11 songs), and another 4 CDs of the finished shows and rehearsals for a staggering total of 104 songs. The two Blue-Ray discs include the specials and all known outtakes. If this sounds like a lot of Elvis, it is. If it sounds like too much Elvis, it is definitely not".
