Notes

A few seconds of 'Bivouac' can be heard at the beginning of the opening credits in the movie Spinout. The "vocal to track" is just someone (not Elvis) shouting out over the instrumental ("Table", "Chair" etc...).

Although the Daily Music Report shows a running time of 2:12 the actual running time of the track is 1:12 without count-ins and talking.
