Notes

This is a scoring session for the movie G.I. Blues, although it is unclear why this session was called, as there doesn't appear to have been anything recorded.

It is also a mystery as to why Juliet Prowse would be called back to the studio after filming on the movie had been completed.

A possibility is that Juliet's "Finger-Clicks" during the 'Crawfish Dance' routine could have been recorded at this session, although it is more likely they were recorded at the August 9 scoring session when backing vocals were recorded for this sequence.

All timings in the 'Musical Breakdown' below are taken from the Blu-Ray release of the movie.

Thanks to David English for research.
