The stereo takes of 'Cotton Candy Land',
'How Would You Like To Be', 'Beyond The
Bend' and 'Take Me To The Fair' on Girl
Happy At The Worlds Fair have the left and
right channels swapped.
'I'm Falling In Love Tonight' on Elvis
Aron Presley has the left and right channels
swapped.
The logs for the tapes handed over to RCA from
MGM in 1962 have the takes of the movie versions
listed as master, rather than the record versions.
In Ernst Jørgensen's A Life In Music and also on the FTD extended soundtrack release
of It Happened At The World's Fair it is stated
that Elvis first attempted the song 'Take Me
To The Fair' (PPA3 2716) at this session, but
there is no indication of this on the tape legend
(shown below), and nothing exists on tape. As the first tape reel from the August 30 1962
session is missing, it is unknown exactly what
was recorded before ‘Happy Ending’.
'Take Me To The Fair' from September 22 is
listed as “No. 2” on the tape legends,
so a good guess is that a different version (“No.
1”) of 'Take Me To The Fair' was tried
out on August 30, with no successful master recorded.
What is listed on FTD's It Happened
At The World's Fair extended soundtrack as being the "August
Master-From Acetate" is actually the overdubbed
movie version but it has the exact same vocals
from the record version, recorded on September
22 1962, so that couldn't have been recorded
in August!
Another item from the Graceland auction was a two-sided acetate containg takes 4 and 9 of 'They Remind Me Too Much Of You', meaning that Take 4 may have been considered as an alternate master originally, as it was cut to acetate.
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.
