Repackaging The King

There have always been Elvis Presley tracks that I gravitate toward, like "Suspicious Minds", but I have never been a mega-die-hard fan of his entire discography nor much a fan of his movies. I therefore heartily applaud Warner Bros.' recent decision to offer Elvis on Tour on its own in addition to making it part of the recent "Elvis Collection 3-pack" (which adds Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas). On Tour is only $7 less than the 3-pack, so if you like Jailhouse or Viva, the bundle is the no-brainer.

The transfer on Elvis on Tour is on par with Woodstock and other 16mm concert docs from the 60's and 70's that Warner has done wonders with. On top of that, the audio is just fantastic compared to how I remember first hearing this doc (on tape or cable). The other titles are the same discs that were already available. $37.49 for the 3-pack and $30.99 for the Blu-ray book of just On Tour.
