Memphis Recording Service has released two nice sets each containing a book, 45 RPM vinyl record and a DVD-Audio/DVD-Video disc. I was skeptical about the hi-rez content at first, but the logo clearly says "DVD-Audio". I have provided a link below. Does anyone have these?

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns Elvis Presley's music?RCA Records owned all of Elvis's recordings. The RCA Records Label was bought by BMG in the 1980s and in 2004 BMG merged with Sony Music Entertainment to become Sony BMG. Sony BMG owns Elvis's recordings and they continue to use the RCA Records label for issuing Elvis releases. They also have a special Elvis collectors label, Follow That Dream Records.
The various composers/publishers own the songs themselves. People get confused about the ownership of the recordings with that of the songs. Also, they get confused about a deal Elvis and his manager made with RCA in 1973. Here is our attempt to sort it all out for you:
THE RECORDINGS
Elvis began his recording career with Sun Records in Memphis in the summer of 1954. Sun Records owner/producer Sam Phillips sold Elvis's recording contract and the catalog of Elvis's Sun recordings to RCA in the fall of 1955. Elvis began recording for RCA in January 1956 and continued under contract with RCA for the rest of his life. Elvis never had ownership in his Sun or RCA recordings. Elvis received an artist's royalty on record sales, per the terms of his contracts with the record company. That's typically how it's done.
THE MARCH 1973 DEAL
In March 1973, Elvis and and his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, went to the record company proposing that Elvis get a large lump sum payment in lieu of all his future artist's royalties for ongoing sales of anything he had recorded up to that time. The deal was made. RCA paid $5.4 million, which Elvis and the Colonel split 50-50. That meant Elvis no longer got (EPE today does not get) his artist's royalties for the ongoing sales of any recordings created before the March 1973 deal. However, Elvis did continue (EPE today continues) to get his artist's royalties on sales of recordings created after the March 1973 deal. Some people misunderstand and think that Elvis had a share in the ownership of his recordings and that this is what he sold to RCA. He did not. +++++++++++
WARNING:
Frequently scam artists confuse or misstate holding a supposed "master" (i.e., a "stamping plate") with the legal right to duplicate the performance therein (perforamnce copyright).Fools' gold.
This sounds like the same a scammers who put out jazz discs copied from CD, labled DVDAudio. Where would they get master tapesif not related to Elvis Presley, Sony, etc.?
To my knowledge, the first stereo LPs were released in 1958. Memphis Recording Service could have reprocessed these earlier Presley recordings to stereo or whatever, but the original and natural mono sound is O.K. with me.
got the original master tapes?
I'm sure the didn't. This disclaimer says..."The Memphis Recording Service and all its logos are owned by the Memphis Recording Service Ltd and are registered trademarks of the European Union.

they have reworked them. This is one of the new breed of copyright pirates, that are exploiting the expiration of copyright in Europe of early 50s recordings. That is why they are so nebulous as to are these Sun Record's Master TAPES, which they are not. Elvis' masters are on tape. These clowns are referring to stamping mothers as masters; stamping mothers can be bought at trade shows, etc.,Elvis Down Home Memphis Love My Momma Sam Sun Records masterful mother original recordings in DVDA are;
bogus.

" I found out that a record I bought in Memphis in 1968 is actually the original master of Elvis Presley's first ever record. "That's All Right Mama". It was recorded on July 5th 1954 by Sam C. Phillips at the Sun Studios, 706 Union Avenue, Memphis and was originally released as Sun 209 on July 19th 1954."Their original master is......
a ****ing record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The record is the source, because there are no master tapes.
for a release Wednesday, in fact. nt

Who needs a declicked DVDA of an old record part of which was found used in a thrift store? This "Memephis xyz" located in the EU stinks.
You aught to see me chase the eBay scammer from Romaina withthe bogus McIntosh amps and B&O speakers.
...according to the fansite, there are no master tapes in existence from the recording sessions. The only source left is the mother. The mother isn't just an old record. It's what the stampers that make the records are made from. So, saying that the DVD-A was made from an "old record" is rather hyperbolic, don't you think?BTW, there are a lot of commercial CDs out there made from mothers, and even off-the-shelf records, because tapes no longer exist (or never existed).
I wouldn't buy this disc because I'm not much of an Elvis fan; however, if someone is an Elvis fan, it might be a good buy because a DVD-Audio made from the mother is probably going to be as good as can be got from these old recordings.
then putting it on DVD A is garbage. And theft. AND, why would a European firm steal the name of Sam Phillips' recording studio in Memphis? Do they claim they are the original recording studio and it moved from Memphis to Romania?And the master tapes exist in one form or another, we just got remastered Elvis on DVDA from the rightful owner of those tapes, RCA.
And the fact that somebody somewhere took a scratchy record and made a...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I had no idea that Elvis was so popular in Australia. It's fun to learn new things!
