The definitive release of these sessions can be found on Follow That Dream's limited edition Devil In Disguise - The 'Lost Album' Sessions 3xCD set, where everything has been compiled and remastered from scratch, and all masters and outtakes are presented in the best possible sound.

Although Chet Atkins is listed as producer on this session, according to the engineer, Ron Steele, interviewed in 2013 by Paul Richardson for the magazine Elvis: The Man And His Music, the session was held on a Sunday and Atkins (nor anyone else from RCA for that matter) was not present at the session. However, someone who sounds like Chet Atkins can actually be heard afer Take 4 of 'Ask Me' breaks down saying "We got a pop on 'Possess'", and again after Take 8 saying "one more please", so it does appear that he was at the session for a short time.

'Memphis, Tennessee' and 'Ask Me' were both first recorded on May 27 1963 without success.

A tape with what was thought to be the unedited Take 6 of 'Memphis, Tennessee' had been in the hands of collectors for years. This actually turned out to be Take 1, which was released on Studio B (FTD) with count-in.

On FTD's Elvis Sings Memphis Tennessee Takes 8, 9 and 10 of 'Ask Me' have been edited together. There is the false start from Take 8, then talking from before Take 9, then the false start from Take 10, and then the complete Take 9.

'Ask Me' was released without backing vocals as the B-side to 'Ain't That Loving You Baby' on the French single (45.567) in 1964. This was done by mistakenly eliminating one of the stereo channels when mixing the song to mono for single release.
It was also released without backing vocals on the 1980 1st pressing of the German RCA release Elvis Forever Volume 2, with matrix number CL 42853. This was done by eliminating one of the stereo channels, and sides 2 and 3 were released this way. When RCA discovered the mistake they made a new LP master with new matrix number CPL 42853.

'It Hurts Me' was released without backing vocals as the B-Side to 'Kissin' Cousins' on the Italian single (45N-1410) in 1964, and was also released on the 1977 UK LP (BMG Australia 1990 CD) release Elvis In Demand. This was done by eliminating one of the stereo channels and releasing the song in mono.

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 Ken Kelly for noticing Chet Atkins' presence during the recording of 'Ask Me'.
