Elvis Presley's music in the 1970s is often dismissed as the bombastic, half-hearted hack work of an overweight, pill-addicted, badly dressed has-been. In the liner notes to this five-CD set, Dave Marsh argues that Presley, in fact, created a more impressive body of work in the '70s than almost any other pop act. And the music on this massive anthology backs Marsh up. Stripping away all the garish live recordings and album filler, the package concentrates on a core of 120 songs--the A- and B-sides of every single Presley recorded in the '70s, 46 other studio tracks (including 13 previously unreleased performances), and 27 live tracks (including another 13 unreleased tracks)--that feature a still-magnificent singer collaborating with one of the funkiest bands of its time. This body of work certainly doesn't match Presley's breakthroughs in the '50s, nor does it equal the achievements of Al Green, Neil Young, and Van Morrison in the '70s, but it does stack up well against the work of Bob Dylan and the ex-Beatles in the same decade. Even in his laziest moments, Presley was a master of intonation and phrasing, delivering his rich baritone with a disarming naturalness. And when he caught a spark from his great T.C.B. Band (anchored by guitarist James Burton and drummer Ron Tutt), Presley could still out-sing anyone in American pop. You can hear it here on inspired versions of Tony Joe White's "Polk Salad Annie," Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," Muddy Waters' "Got My Mojo Working," Wayne Carson's "Always on My Mind," Chuck Berry's "Promised Land," Paul McCartney's "Lady Madonna," Percy Mayfield's "Stranger in My Own Hometown," Dennis Linde's "Burning Love," and Joe South's "Walk a Mile in My Shoes." --Geoffrey Himes

Summary: You want Elvis, you've got him 2008-12-17
Comment: This is an absolute must have. Any true Elvis fan will want his definitive collections and this is one of three box sets that encompass the bulk of his material, this being the 1970's tracks. As always, alternate takes and a complete live cd add a little extra to this, not to mention a great booklet that behind the scenes info and great pictures. No Elvis devotee should be with out this.

Summary: dixielove 2008-05-27
Comment: I recommend this collection highly. I just love hearing the interaction between people in the studio and some of the false starts. After viewing pictures of Elvis and his group in a studio setting, I can close my eyes, listen to these recordings and I am "there in the studio". Great!

Summary: Living on songs 2008-03-23
Comment: This five CD box set covers Elvis Presley's 1970s recordings. The discs are broken up into different categories. The first two discs cover the a-sides and b-sides of his singles, including UK singles that were not released in the US. The third and fourth discs include studio recordings that were not released as singles. The last disc features live recordings, not including live recordings that were released as singles. Several of these recordings had not been previously released, although some of the songs had been released in different versions. This is an excellent overview of Elvis Presley's best 1970s recordings.

Summary: PLEASE RERELEASE THIS BOX SET 2008-02-01
Comment: It's about time this box set was rereleased with better packaging and more recent remasters. That goes for the 60's masters box set, too.

Summary: Walk A Mile In My Shoes by Elvis Presley 2008-01-09
Comment: As always Elvis has done it again. This is a great set with all of his seventies songs from his last concerts and studio songs with him and the boys sitting around and playing and singing. This is a great compilation of his music and a good variety from rock to country. I listened all day to these 5 CD's on his birthday. It also comes with a great book to see pictures of him and it tells where the concerts were and what he was singing. A great set!
