Elvis: A Cultural Revolutionary, Box Shows It Again

Awesome
Back in ‘97 when I purchased this, I can remember saving up money that I had gotten for my birthday and 12 days later going to the store and buying it the day it came out.

One fantastic set!
This is one of the best sets I have ever heard. I listened to it yesterday at work (with earphones of course) and it took me all day to get through it.
