FTD's Frankie And Johnny extended soundtrack has takes
6, 7 and 8 of 'Look Out, Broadway' in the
wrong order (Take 6, Take 7, count-in for Take
6 and Take 8).
On the Complete Frankie & Johnny Sessions bootleg the master takes used are from a different
source to the outtakes, as the channels are reversed.
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.
