'Jailhouse Rock (male overdubs)' runs 2%
too fast on Essential Elvis, Jailhouse Rock (1997) and Elvis Chante Leiber & Stoller.
Although originally intended to be recorded at some point during these sessions, 'Oh My, You Lied' and 'What have Ya Got To Lose' were eventually not used at all in the movie.
All timings in the 'Musical Breakdown' below are taken from the DVD release of the movie.
In March of 2007, Sony decided to go through all of Elvis' masters. They retransferred everything and remastered all tracks including repairing as many clicks, pops, bad edits and dropouts as they could. They have used these newly mastered recordings on their new releases since 2007 including budget soundtracks, Legacy releases, the 30 disc Complete Elvis Presley Masters collection and the Franklin Mint package.
Thanks to David English for extensive research on these sessions.
Notes from a review of Jailhouse Rock Volume
1 (FTD) by Piers Beagley (Elvis
Information Network)
Jailhouse Rock
(CD1, track 26) male vocal overdubs -
This is the early initial overdub with Male chorus
but no orchestra. This is a nice new addition
since unlike the previous release on Essential
Elvis there is no fade-out and the song continues
until the abrupt ending. Great listening.
