"I recieved a copy of The Definitive Elvis the other day and I watched episode after another,you definitely need a box of kleenex after viewing some episodes!! Watching all of Elvis' fans and co-stars,it brings him to life.I mean it's all the great artists I grew up with...Glen Campbell,Jackie DeShannon,Mac Davis,too many to name here! It's a super set and I am sure that Elvis is smiling down on it.What a great gift to have,I mean 16 hours of Elvis and his friends!! Sure,I am a Elvis fan and I am sure all of his other fans will love it. This series is what all the fans have been wanting for 25 years and it's finally here.Everything in his life is covered and I feel like I lived it with him,though I only admired him from afar.These shows remind us how great Elvis was.The King lives on!"

Definitively Excellent!

"After viewing "The Definitive Elvis" (25th Anniversary Collection)I was thoroughly entertained. I recently viewed a terrible slapped together documentary on Elvis presented on the Ten Network in Australia. The reaction to it was disgust, and there were articles in the papers saying what a disgrace it was over the following days. It was made by people who know nothing about the King, they were merely reading off a badly written script that was poorly research, and smacked of sensationalism and bias. Now, if these morons sat down and saw "The Definitive Elvis", they would realise how ignorant they really are.This 16 episode set is fantastic as far as I'm concerned. It filled little gaps where I always wondered, "what was the reason for this and that". It shows how great Elvis really was, it also showed me how others have tried to destroy the memory of Elvis by distorting it with made up rubbish. There's no doubting that Elvis had his ways,... but really,... how could you not love Elvis? I grew up with Elvis from birth due to my older brothers, I felt I knew him like everyone else. To me he was like another brother,....it sounds crazy but that was his magic, you felt he was part of the family. It was Elvis on the record player all the time. You seemed to feel that you could relate to him in some uncanny way. The Definitive Elvis (25th Anniversary Collection)is great, and I thoroughly recommend it. He truly was the Greatest!"

"I recently purchased the Definitive Elvis collection and I was BLOWN AWAY! There is so much great stuff. I am an avid collector of Elvis, and I have done years of research on the king. Especially entertaining are four of the episodes written by Brandon Christopher. I highly recommend this collection to any Elvis fan!"

I love The Definitive Elvis!!

"I love this silver box set!! If I could give it 6 stars I would!!! I have loved Elvis since I was a little girl,my mom is a fan too and she started me. What I like about this series is that it is a video book,a biography you can see with friends and coworkers who REALLY knew the REAL ELVIS!!
It's not some critic who doesn't understand or appreciate his music. I wish I could have been around when Elvis was here. In a way I can through the people who loved him,there are storeies and foootage I have never heard or seen before.I bet this will be a heirloom to hand down through generations. I watch them a lot,when i feel blue I play a Elvis record or movie.Now I have 16 new hours to choose from!!!
It truly is as people have said a beautiful MASTERPIECE!! A nice addition to any Elvis fan's library...TLC,
Francesca P.S. I like Joe Esposito:His Best Friend Remembers too,he did a good job,but it's only 2 hours and it's a great companion to The Definitive Elvis!!! Joe worked on The Definitive Elvis too..."
