On the bootleg Celluloid Rock Volume 2 and the public domain release The Wild In The Country & Flaming Star Sessions the master of 'Flaming Star' was released both as a 3-channel mix and as instrumental track with just the two instrumental channels. This gives the impression that the vocals were overdubbed, but this is incorrect as slight bleeding of the vocal track reveals how this mix was done.

What is interesting about these versions is that the 'track' actually contains the count-in, and both the 'track' and 'vocal overdub' are complete and not faded at the end.

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.
