Thanks to Santi for sending me a file for observation.

I'm still leaning towards "My Way" on this set either being
remixed or an alternate take. The instrumentation seems
different, the vocal seems different between the two and
the crowd noise at the beginning comes in later than the
45.

I haven't done a comparison in Audition, but this
definitely is not the 45 version.

Is it possible that "My Way" on this set has also been
remixed?]]> Sat, 19 Jan 2013 10:43:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=36461&title=elvis-my-way#36461 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=36458&title=elvis-my-way#36458 Author: Santi Paradoa

Jim:
The version of "My Way" on this set is not the
correct 45 version (since it is faded early). There are
several other tracks as well where they do not match the 45
exactly ("I've Lost You," "Steamroller Blues," "Mama Liked
The Roses" plus "I Really Don't Want To Know" is missing
the final drumbeat once again). Turns out this is another
singles set where they get several of them incorrect
(what else is new). It's when you compare them closely
to the 45 that you realize they are close but "no cigar."

Santi, I'm confused by your two posts. Is the version of "My Way" on this new
"Hits Of The 70's" CD the correct 45 version, or is it "another missed
opportunity?" You make both statements.......]]> Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:59:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=36457&title=elvis-my-way#36457 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=36456&title=elvis-my-way#36456 Author: Santi Paradoa

All stereo Brian. I've also had time to check some of
the
other tracks on this set and there are some that are
identical to previous releases where they did not use the
correct 45 version (for example: "I've Lost You" is the
same incorrect version where all they do is fade the LP
version early). They did however get "Rags To Riches"
right where the piano intro is not cut short.

Back To "My Way" for a second. On this set they did just
like some of the Reader's Digest releases did and fade
the
song as soon as the applause starts so you never hear
Elvis
say "thank you very much" or " may God bless you, adios."
Another missed opportunity.

In case anyone out there is still seeking the 45 version
of this live hit (like I was):

I’m not a big Elvis fan. However, I’ve been looking to
get the 45 version of “My Way” for quite a while (even
though it was on a couple of Reader’s Digest sets I never
got any of them). So I picked up this fairly new 2 CD
release by FTD (short for Follow That Dream Records).
The RCA logo is on it plus it says it’s issued under
license from Sony Music. Apparently they are Sony’s
official custom label for material not commonly available
elsewhere (so kind of an official Elvis reissue label for
collectors).

The title of the double CD set (released in Oct. 2012) is
Hits Of The 70s, which was originally released in
the UK in 1974. This newly expanded edition offers all
of the original dozen songs plus another 37 single
versions (for a total of 24 A & B sides plus the bonus
track “My Way”). The single’s b-side (which was
“America, The Beautiful”) is not included in this set so
it’s just a total of 49 tracks. It also comes with a 12-
page booklet with release and chart info plus picture
sleeves. Per the liner notes they used the stereo
masters for the entire set and it was mastered for CD by
Vic Aneseni. Even though it was just a few months ago
since it was released it may already be hard to find.
The official site for these FTD releases is shopelvis dot
com, however it may no longer be available there. ]]> Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:28:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=36449&title=elvis-my-way#36449 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=2697&title=elvis-my-way#2697 Author: Brian W.

Really? I think "30 #1 Hits" sounds terrible. To my ears, it's so trebly and harsh, and "Love Me Tender" is unbelievably hissy... it sounds much better on one of the "Your Hit Parade" CDs. Haven't heard "2nd to None." But I have been told the new "Hitstory" has completely new mastering by the fabulous Vic Anesini, who did the outstanding remasters of "Elvis '56" and "Heart and Soul." I'm told it's not just the third disc in the set that's remastered -- he did the whole thing all over.]]> Wed, 16 Nov 2005 22:11:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=2697&title=elvis-my-way#2697 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=2695&title=elvis-my-way#2695 Author: Todd Ireland

Unfortunately, I've found that the vast majority of Presley's recordings have average to below average sound quality on CD. In my opinion, the best sounding Elvis discs by far are 30 #1 Hits (RCA 68079) and Elvis 2nd to None (RCA/BMG 55895). ]]> Wed, 16 Nov 2005 21:06:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=2695&title=elvis-my-way#2695 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=2675&title=elvis-my-way#2675 Author: Brian W.

That one, too, David, but it fades out a little early on that one. The full length single version is on Reader's Digest "The ELvis Presley Years." Well, IF the single ends with him saying, "May God bless you, adios" If the single ends with "Thank you very much," then the one you have is the single length version. I don't have the 45 to compare. But the running time Whitburn lists matches the longer version.

Sound quality is the same on both of them.]]> Sat, 12 Nov 2005 01:54:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=505&PID=2675&title=elvis-my-way#2675
