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. Unfortunately, there are some issues with some of the takes presented on this set, one being a glitch on take 15 of 'Soldier Boy' near the end, for which a replacement disc (CD2) was sent out to all buyers, thus rectifying this fault.
The master of 'Dirty, Dirty Feeling' is primarily take 4, but has the guitar solo from take 1 spliced in, although this was only discovered when FTD went back to the original session tapes when compiling this set, and the tape cut in take 1, along with the splice in take 4 was noticed. When take 1 was released on the classic album of Elvis Is Back in April 2005 (see here) it does not contain the guitar solo, as it was physically cut from the tape they had at that time.
