Notes

Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen and Roger Semon / Remixed and Mastered by Andreas Meyer and Sebastian Jeansson.

The master of 'Dirty, Dirty Feeling' is primarily take 4, but has the guitar solo from take 1 spliced in. This was only discovered when FTD went back to the original session tapes when compiling The Elvis Is Back Sessions, released in November 2019 (see here), and the tape cut in take 1, and the splice in take 4 was noticed. This is why take 1 of 'Dirty, Dirty Feeling' on this set does not contain the guitar solo, as it was physically cut from the tape they had. Also, the booklet states that the master is just take 4.

'Are You Lonesome Tonight?' (track 25) has the first false start of take 4, then the false start and long false start of take 3, and then has a splice of "work part" takes 1 and 2.

Different pressings of this CD:
On the second (2005), third (2009) and fourth (2012) pressings of this set, the "Nipper" logo had been replaced by the RCA logo on the front cover, as BMG weren't the copyright holder of the logo in Europe.
On the third (2009) pressing the front and back covers are visibly lighter than the first two pressings and the actual CDs are slightly different, where the centres are all black, and are not transparent.
On the fourth (2012) pressing the photo of Elvis on the front cover is more complete, and the RCA logos are a brighter white. The yellow sticker doesn't show "LSP/LPM 2231", and has "The Girl Next Door" instead of "Girl Next Door Went A' Walking" on the listing. The back cover also doesn't have the white frame around it and the Sony logo is shown next to the Follow That Dream and RCA logos. The CD centres are also back to being transparent.
