From Amazon.com
Elvis Presley never sounded better than he does on these recordings made in Memphis at Chip Moman's American Sound Studios in January 1969. The artist was still on an incredible high following the success of his legendary NBC-TV "comeback" special, which had aired a little over a month earlier. Eager to record some relevant music after a decade of horrible movie soundtracks, Presley decided to work with Moman's smash-making (122 hits in three years) Memphis house band. Indeed, four charting singles came from these sessions--"Suspicious Minds," "Don't Cry Daddy," "In the Ghetto," and "Kentucky Rain"--as well as two critically acclaimed albums, From Elvis in Memphis and Back in Memphis. This two-disc set includes all the music the King recorded during that stint at Moman's studio, ranging from Neil Diamond, Bobby Darin, and Beatles covers to current and old country hits ("Gentle on My Mind," Johnny Tillotson's "It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'") to a cover of Chuck Willis's classic "Any Day Now" that tops the R&B original. Of special note is "Long Black Limousine," a song about a huge star returning to her small hometown in a hearse. All the originally released American recordings are available on the From Nashville to Memphis box set. RCA fleshes out this collection with previously unreleased alternate takes (including the in-between studio chatter), as well as the Darin tune ("I'll Be There," a hit for Gerry & the Pacemakers) and a snippet of one previously unheard tune, "Poor Man's Gold." There's been much debate about the mix, but these tracks sounded great on vinyl in the late 1960s, and they'll continue to sound great for years to come, no matter the format. --Bill Holdship

 This set is just wonderful!! January 4, 2004
This 2 CD set,which covers all of Elvis' 1969 Memphis sessions,at American Studios,plus alternate takes,from those sessions,is superb!!The sound is great and those sessions are some of his best work.The alternate takes are very good,too.Elvis doesn't get enough credit as being a blue-eyed soul singer,which he certainly was,in these sessions,among other sessions,he did.He definately had soul and anyone who can't see that,just doesn't know.He was certainly as soulful,as Dusty Springfield,who is another of my favorite artists.This set is a must,for the Elvis fan and even if you aren't an Elvis fan,how could you not like it?
The best songs he ever sang July 27, 2003
bob turnley (birmingham,al,usa)
Most critics consider the young Elvis as the only Elvis worth talking about. As if being on the cutting edge of musical movement inherently elevates the quality of the recordings. The young Elvis is lauded because of the impact he made on the music world. The older Elvis is ignored due to his being "out of touch" with music trends. The fact is, throughout his career, Elvis did what he wanted to do. So if his choice in music later in his career failed to make him the trendsetter again, it is not because of his music but of the times in which he lived. Elvis himself thought his old recordings "sounded funny."
The 1969 Anthology "Suspicious Minds" presents an Elvis as talented as he ever was, but with his best material. Everybody knows the title track, 'Kentucky Rain' and 'In the Ghetto.' But the song that should have been as big as all of those is 'Without Love.' This is the most powerful song he ever sang and he puts everything into it.
Disc 2 has alternate takes of disc 1. They're interesting, but don't compare with the songs as first released. This collection is worth the money if you want to hear the best of Elvis Presley.
KICKS , ENOUGH SAID! October 3, 2002

ITS ELIVS AT HIS BEST 68-70! WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY?
 That close to perfection July 25, 2002
Greekfreak (Pusan Korea (South))
In the age of double sets, it's almost as if a single CD just won't do any artist justice anymore. In the case of 'The King' this is less of a problem, given the amount of demos and live bootlegs on the market. Since they've priced the one-disc, 23 track 'Memphis Record' just a tad higher than this one, you're just as well to buy this, but if you can find it used, stick with it instead. Most of the demos contained in this anthology are good, but not essential. It's really the first disc that amazes, even after all these years. However, as amazing as this set is, I'm still [angry] that RCA hasn't seen fit to release it with that great blues version of 'Stranger in My Own Home Town,' which would be worth the price of the rest of the tracks.
PERHAPS ELVIS' BEST NON-GOSPEL DOUBLE DISC RELEASE February 24, 2002
JON STRICKLAND (Smithfield, NC United States)
1969 was a great year for Elvis and rightfully so. Suspicious Minds has virtually all of The King's key works from that time. The hits are in harmony and the fillers are, instead, very interesting outtakes.Prior to obtaining Suspicious Minds, I was already the fortunate owner of Elvis' Back in Memphis, which, alone, has 10 of the tracks in this collection. My fondness of Back in Memphis and the other 1969 recordings would eventually inspire me to obtain this double-disc collection. Not only do you have Elvis' renditions of tunes made popular by other artists, but you also have the hits that put The King back on track, namely In the Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, and Kentucky Rain. Out of all of Elvis' non-gospel recordings, I would say that his 1969 material, as well packaged and summarized in Suspicious Minds, is the very best of his best.
