Apparently your understanding of english is not yet all that it might be. Dont get too cocky! :wink:

ap·par·ent (-prnt, -pâr-)
adj.
1. Readily seen; visible.
2. Readily understood; clear or obvious.
3. Appearing as such but not necessarily so; seeming: an apparent advantage.

While you refer to "3", I advise you to consider the implications of "1" and "2" vis-à-vis my previous post.

By the way, you're welcome.

Didn't want to start yet another thread so I'll just use this one. The set is in chronological order however on disc 7 the track listing is as follows:

21. For the Millionth and the Last Time
22. Good Luck Charm
23. Anything That's Part of You
24. I Met Her Today
25. Night Rider
26. Angel
27. Follow That Dream
28. What a Wonderful Life
29. I'm Not the Marrying Kind
30. Sound Advice

However according to the Ernst book and Elvis sessions sites the order is as follows:

July 2 1961 RCA Studio B - Nashville, Tessessee

Angel M2WW 0873-07
Follow That Dream M2WW 0874-06
What A Wonderful Life M2WW 0875-07
I'm Not The Marrying Kind M2WW 0876-08
A Whistling Tune M2WW 0877-04
A Whistling Tune (Overdub) ____-NA
Sound Advice M2WW 0878-06

October 15 1961 RCA Studio B - Nashville, Tessessee

For The Millionth & The Last Time M2WW 1002-12
Good Luck Charm M2WW 1003-04
Anything That's Part Of You M2WW 1004-10

The CM set features the October masters before the July session. Am I missing something?

Was not a key component of this set the chronological presentation?

Laughable.

I could be wrong, but maybe since the book came out some new information was discovered to lead them to believe this is the actual proper oder. Maybe, could be, or maybe they're just showing more incompetence. Maybe Keith can ask Ernst about the differences between the books listings, and the box sets listings.

I was referring to 3, that's correct...but why should I thank you?

Its really a nice package but way out of my price range.

Nobody will like this and some won't believe it, but I actually got the set for free. This is what happened: I ordered it through a famous online website that regularly offers discount deals, and so I bought it having resisted it for so long. Then when I finally got it, I noticed some discs were (lightly) scratched. Also, the amount of money I was billed through Mastercard was different from what I paid online in the first place. I hope this doesn't get too confusing. Anyway, so I contacted them with these issues but did not receive a reply. Then suddenly I got a reply and a full refund. I didn't even have to send the set back! No lie!

Btw, I got the second unnumbered run, but still, it's amazing I got a full refund. :cheers

So which discount site was it? I don't think what happened to you can be duplicated but I would like to find the set at a discount.

The Follow That Dream songs are placed after the Kid Galahad songs because most of these are available in mono...it is a listening choice.

This is the one, now I see for 445 euro, that's 14,8 euro per cd, so less than a FTD (FTD are 20 euro at least). Whatever the problems with the set, this is cheap. Plus you get the impressive package and the book.
