This is the original concept tracklisting of
the NBC-TV Special Elvis.
Take 2 of 'A Little Less Conversation', when first discovered on acetate and released on the BMG CD Memories in 1998, was originally thought to have been recorded in June 1968 as part of the recordings for the NBC-TV Special. When the March 7 1968 session tapes were eventually rediscovered, this mistake was realised.
Take 16 of 'A Little Less Conversation' was dubbed down to a backing track by removing Elvis' vocals from the track, as requested by Steve Binder, along with an acetate of Take 2, were both cut for possible use on the NBC-TV Special, either as guide vocals (Take 2) or a guide rhythm track (dubdown of Take 16).
The original concept tracklisting for the NBC-TV Special shows that 'A Little Less Conversation' was originally intended to be used in an "Arena" segment of the show, which eventually never materialised.
This backing track for the dubdown of 2004-16 can be found on the old bootleg LP The '68 Comeback.
