This is a vocal scoring session for the movie G.I. Blues, to overdub backing vocals to the selections listed.

"Finger-Clicks" for 'Lili's Crawfish Dance' were likely recorded during this scoring session.

The tracks listed as being on the Elvis One release Elvis Presley In G.I. Blues - Part 1 (The Bootleg Series Vol. 48) appear to be lifted from the Blu-Ray release of G.I. Blues, where the "Score" can be found on a separate track of the Blu-Ray disc, some of it without talking etc, which can be heard in the soundtrack of the movie.

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