- With KILLER Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sound or close to it throughout, this copy is one of the BEST we have ever heard
- This early import pressing showed us a Spike we never knew existed until a few years ago – there was so much energy and presence that it just came jumping out of the speakers and simply refused to mind its manners. Elvis should be proud. Why don’t more records sound like this?
- “Any King’s Shilling” on side two, with its authentic Irish instrumentation (fiddle, uilleann pipes, Irish harp, bodhran), has Demo Disc Quality sound of the highest order
- One of the best batches of songs Elvis (and his buddy Paul McCartney) ever wrote – the combination of such good sound and such good music makes this the last of the great Elvis records for us audiophiles
- If you’re a fan of Elvis’s, this is a Top Title from 1987 that belongs in your collection
