Notes

Additional instruments were overdubbed to the songs by Gilda Maiken and acetates were cut for the use of playback in the movie. These movie version acetates were issued with new production numbers (WTD-1, XTD-1 etc...) instead of listing the actual master take numbers (WO-02, XO-06 etc...).

Thanks to Rogier van Luyken for sharing his private acetate collection.

In March of 2007, Sony decided to go through all of Elvis' masters. They retransferred everything and remastered all tracks including repairing as many clicks, pops, bad edits and dropouts as they could. They have used these newly mastered recordings on their new releases since 2007 including budget soundtracks, Legacy releases, the 30 disc Complete Elvis Presley Masters collection and the Franklin Mint package.
