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.

  - They are offering 5.1 of mono recordings. They are denying - Duilawyer 16:26:08 01/11/07 (0)
    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.,

        The record is the source, because there are no master tapes.

        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.

        ...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.
        
        No. If the original is of sound quality not comparable to even CD - Duilawyer 06:31:38 01/12/07 (0)

        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
