Notes

Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen and Roger Semon / Mastered by Lene Reidel.

The outtakes released on this CD are presented with "Dry" vocals, as they were originally recorded, with no, or very little reverb (echo). On The Viva Las Vegas Sessions (released in July 2018 - see here) however, the whole set was drenched in reverb, meaning this extended soundtrack CD is still the only place to find some of these outtakes in this form.

Although take 9 of 'The Climb' is listed on the cover (track 25), which is the take used for the movie version of the song, it is actually takes 1, 4, 5 and 9 that are on here.

Different pressings of this CD:
On the original pressing of this CD the barcode is missing from the back cover, which was rectified on the second pressing (issued at the same time as the first pressing - November 2003).
The 3rd pressing of this CD, released in 2014, had a different front cover and different layout on the actual CD, but had an error on the barcode on the back cover, where the number "8" was missing from the start of the catalogue number. This was rectified on a fourth pressing, which used the same CD as the third pressing, and was also released in 2014.
Both 2014 pressings also had the EPs shown on the inside cover, in colour, where they were black & white on the 2003 pressings, but the recording date on the back cover is incorrectly listed as being "July 7-9, 1963" instead of "July 9-11, 1963"!
