Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen & Roger Semon / Audio Restoration & Mastering by Sebastian Jeansson.

This CD set is the best source for these recording sessions, where everything has been restored and remastered from scratch, although it is nowhere near being the complete sessions.

The set was originally issued by Sony in August 2019 as a download only release, but after requests from fans Follow That Dream bought it out as a physical release in October 20219 as part of their series of "Sessions" sets.

'Poor Man's Gold' is faded on this set, where it appeared complete on the FTD release From Elvis At American Sound Studio (see here).

Take 2 of 'And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind' is not listed on this set, although it is included in between takes 1 and 3 (CD4, track 8).

Take 3 of 'Any Day Now' is six false starts and a long false start, and take 4 is seven false starts, a long false start and a pickup. What is listed as takes 3 and 4 on this set (CD5, track 12) is the long false start of take 3, and then a composite of the long false start and the pickup from take 4.
