There are no SACDs of these titles.  They were both released on DCC gold CD and Analog Productions vinyl though.

Analogue Productions will be releasing both "24 Karat Hits" and "Elvis is Back" on SACD. It appears that these were mastered by George Marino before he died.

I would only trust a Steve Hoffman mastering when it comes to Elvis.

Yeah, I cringed when I saw it was Marino. I'm still kicking myself for not getting the DCC "24 Karat Hits" for $50 when I had the chance a while ago.

I have a signed copy by Steve Hoffman if you're interested. I paid more than $50 though.

I've only spent $50 for one CD in my life, but it's one I could sell for $150 easily. I just can't justify spending any more than that, especially on an Elvis CD. I'm not the biggest fan.  I'm more curious than anything.

Yeah...I understand.
 
Most I have paid for a retail CD was $210.00. It was a two CD set so it came out to $105.00 each.

I paid $75 to get a two CD Fats Waller set a friend borrowed and never returned, and man that hurt!

I'll pick up both "24 Karat Hits" and "Elvis Is Back!" on SACD.
 
I got the DCC 24K gold CD of "24 Karat Hits" already.
