for the "dread & anticipation" file: elvis 30 #1 hits.
"The new mixes don't change Elvis and his musicians' work, but they showcase that work in a way that makes the most of their brilliance when listened to on today's audio equipment."

here's a link to an interview with david bendeth, a member of the remastering team. his objective:
"The main objective was to be able to take an Elvis record for the first time and be able to play it on your stereo system at home, … your computer system at home, …or your car and have it be heard at the same contemporary caliber of any record you could buy in the store today. We want the songs to sonically contain the full dynamic range of bass and treble. To have full dynamic range is to have all of the tones hitting your ear at the same time and having the level also be competitive to every other record that’s out in the market right now. That process alone kind of gives you a new sound."
