Review

But the latest and last volume really surprised me. Just listening to the undubbed out takes of Hurt in particular, Elvis' performance sounds so much more powerful, like his live performances.

Reading the liner notes, there is a clear distain for the overdubbing done by Felton Jarvis, I decided to do some comparison's and while I often enjoy undubbed tracks I am never of the mindset that they are all wrong, if done well, if the end result is better, then that is good, but listening to even the most recent sound upgrade to Hurt by Sony it sounds muffled and very poor in comparison to what we have on the 'Welcome To The Jungle' : Hurt CD. I chose take 2 for my compilation of a 'new version' of From Elvis Presley Boulevard and as said already, every time I hear Hurt it reminds me of Elvis' live performances - it completely out shines the master.

It is true what they say in the 'press release' ... [Above]
