Hat's off to RCA on a job well done. This box set has it all - original album artwork, bonus photos, hype stickers a hard cover book and most importantly - ALL the tracks Elvis recorded for RCA during his lifetime. The sound quality is wonderful - Pristine MONO until Elvis is Back (his 1st Stereo Release) - everything after that is STEREO (with the exception of some EP tracks included as bonus tracks on several of the discs. I missed out on this upon it's original release in 2016. I was, however, fortunate enough to find it available in a limited quantity. This is right up there with the Dylan and Cash sets...Maybe a notch better. You cannot go wrong with this set - GO GET IT!! (Before they dry up again).

Back in 2010, Sony/BMG/RCA/Legacy recordings released the monumental 30-disc CD boxed set titled "The Complete Elvis Presley Masters", which presented all 711 of Elvis Presley master recordings together for the very first time. Issued as a first-run limited edition of only 1,000 numbered units, it is not surprising that all 1,000 units quickly sold out. Now, here in 2016, they have commemorated the 60th anniversary of Elvis' debut album from 1956 by releasing yet another stellar boxed set - the 60-disc CD set titled "The RCA Albums Collection". This set features unique and authentic reproductions of 57 albums that were originally released from 1956 to 1977 during Elvis' lifetime. In several cases, some of the albums also features bonus tracks, as well. In addition to the 57 aforementioned albums, there are also three bonus discs including rarities from the 50s, 60s and 70s. The set also features a brilliant hard-cover book which has an excellent overview about the albums and their historical significance in popular musical history. This collection proves that Elvis Presley is still the greatest cultural icon of the twentieth century, more than 40 years after his untimely passing. The King of Rock and Roll will live forever!Read full review

I bought this because it has the content of almost all of the music that was released during Elvis' lifetime. The thing that really makes this set great is that it is packaged the way the Elvis fans got them originally. It is all of his albums with a few songs added here and there that were never released on LP originally or was part of an album that was mostly re-released material (ex: Burning Love and Separate Ways). The only CD set that contains more material is The Complete Masters CD set that was released in 2010. That set is quite pricey. This set is much more affordable and has almost everything that is on the other set. They both use the same masters and the sound is great. Much better mastering on these compared to previous box sets. Each CD is in a miniature LP cover that looks like the originals. There is a nice book that is a companion to the CDs. I highly recommend this set.Read full review

There is some small errors which I as an "extreme" Elvis-fan see easy, but for the general public it will be fantastic. The small errors is too small for anyone in the general public to even recognise. The sound is fantastic and the price is good. For anyone who wants more than 5 Elvis records, I highly recommand this. Then you never have to buy anything more with Elvis in your whole life. From Øystein

This set of 60 CDs are nice and complete. Quality of the sons is impressive. It will take a year to listen to all of the songs. I would guess there are 700-900 songs. Would be great if there was a glossary but one is not included.
