The Long-Awaited 6-Month Anniversary Edition

"Elvis is my main man. I've bought the catalog in 8-track, cassette, 45s, vinyl, imported vinyl, CD, imported CD, imported reissue CDs, reissued domestic CDs...and I've done this strictly for the music. So, if, like me, you don't feel like shelling out another $15 for a disc you just bought--as enticing as the bonus disc is--allow me to direct you to iTunes, where the extra tracks are available at 99 cents each. I love ya Elvis but you're killin' me."
Okay, whatever

"The whole reissue thing with Elvis is getting out of hand. Is he going to do this with every subsequent release? "Cruel Smile", "Delivery Man Redux Deluxe Mad Ducks"...next he'll get Diana in on the act and we'll get "Girl in the Other Room--Next Door" (personally I'd like to see a "Double Fantasy"-type Costello/Krall collaboration.) Thank God for iTunes. If you don't need the packaging (again) it sounds like the way to go (great cover pic, though, I have to admit). Looking forward to the tour. Maybe I'll buy a tee-shirt, if it doesn't become outdated two months later."
I think I'll wait for the Rycodisk reissue...

"...which should be out in time for Christmas 2005. Rumor has it that it will include the little-heard Elvis demo entitled, "Shilling the Rubes Was Never This Fun.""
