The Best of Elvis
I was great. I love every one of his songs so I can't say enough about this set.


Great-- but if you have the "Peace in the Valley" box, you'll have a dilemma...
However, after comparing the 3 Elvis spiritual/gospel box sets "Amazing Grace", "Peace in the Valley", and "I Believe", one cannot help but be a bit disappointed with this one because it's something of a missed opportunity. First, let me make it clear that this set is very good and the music is 5 stars. As others have noted, there is a significant amount of previously released material that has unfortunately been left off. The very idea of omitting the "Miracle of the Rosary" is mind boggling--a bit like leaving "Hey Jude" off of a Beatles singles collection ("Miracle. . . " is on both previous box sets as well as "Elvis Now").

There are any number of Elvis gospel single disc compilations, but the double disc set, "Amazing Grace," was clearly aimed at those looking for a reasonably broad overview that goes a wee bit further than a single disc. On the other hand, the "Peace in the Valley" box was designed for those (like me) who have really wanted a complete collection of the Elvis gospel material. (One critic from All Music Guide criticized it for being overly complete!)


With the current "I Believe" box, which has been marketed as updated and comprehensive, the compilers should have begun with everything on the "Peace in the Valley" box, and then added whatever additional rarities or alternate tracks they could come up with-- possibly including more broadly spiritual numbers (e. g. "Bridge over Troubled Water"). When I initially found out that the "I Believe" box would be a 4 disc set, I incorrectly assumed that the extra disc would consist of such music. In fact, there is less here than on the 3 disc "Peace" box. Many of the rarities not included here are, in my view, VERY essential.

"I Believe" is very good but if you already own the "Peace in the Valley" box set you may want to simply purchase and download the few songs that are not already on the earlier but more extensive box.


Elvis Gospel.
Elvis at his best, that many will not give listening time to, simply because it is Gospel. I have the albums, my friend want me to buy this set for him, what can I say.


I Believe this is the best gospel album ever!
This CD set is phenomenol and well worth the price. One can't go wrong when combining Elvis and gospel. You don't just listen to this music you feel it! I found my way through this album a very moving experience. If gospel didn't persuade you to seek God before, Elvis will have you reconsidering. .


inspirational
I'm not a huge Elvis fan, yet. .
But after I heard the samples, I was totally sold. What an increadable singer he was. Very moving.
