The definitive release of these sessions can be found on Follow That Dream's limited edition The Kid Galahad Sessions 2xCD set, where everything has been remixed and remastered from scratch, and all masters and outtakes are presented in the best possible sound, although the left and right stereo channels are reversed as opposed to the stereo image on all of Follow That Dream's other "Sessions" sets. On the Memphis Recording Service book and 4xCD set The Complete Movie Masters 1960-62 all outtakes released have the channels corrected.
'I Got Lucky' (first version - M5) on Silver
Screen Stereo (FTD) is listed as alternate master,
but this is actually Take 1. We get Take 1 again
on FTD's Kid Galahad extended soundtrack (with count-in),
along with the correct alternate master (Take
6), but it is wrongly listed in the "In &
Outakes" section and also Sessions III that Take 6 was on Silver Screen Stereo.
Some of the original mono masters as first released
in 1962 were shortened for release. They are released
in their original form on FTD's
extended soundtrack of Kid Galahad, along with the longer stereo masters as first
released on Double Features. On Sony's Complete
Elvis Presley Masters collection and the Franklin
Mint set they are released in their original edited
form but in stereo.
Although not listed as a source, a bootleg CD box-set entitled King Of The Whole Wide World - The Kid Galahad Sessions contains everything originally contained on the old vinyl bootlegs (mono sessions) along with stereo outtakes, mono and stereo masters etc... released by FTD and RCA/BMG/Sony.
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.
