Although slightly edited, this CD set is the best source for these soundtrack recording sessions, where everything has been restored, remixed and remastered from the original 3-track tapes.
When the master takes were cut from the stereo session tapes, so were some of the take slates and count-in's, which is why some of the remixed masters appear without the take slates and count-in on this set. They all remained intact on the mono session tapes.
Take 18 of 'Slicin' Sand' does not appear on this set, although it is only a short false start with no involvement from Elvis.
For the 'Can't Help Falling In Love' session it appears that Follow That Dream have used a private stereo source for takes 1 to 12, as they do not have that reel in their possession.
These CDs were originally released in April 2023 as part of The Making Of Blue Hawaii deluxe Book/CD/Vinyl package (see here).
