Notes

This is one of the rare occasions where The Jordanaires appear in the left channel on the final 2-channel mix. The position of the Jordanaires was preseved by BMG on the Double Features and FTD's Spinout extended soundtrack mix of the masters, but not on any of the outtakes.

The Famous Groove 2-CD The Complete Spinout Session (FG 2331) is arguably the best source for the session with completely dry vocals, hiss, possible mid-frequency drop, generation loss and possibly lacking one of the original 3 channels. Celluloid Rock Volume 2 (Cool Romeo) has a binaural mix with raised mid-range, high-end loss and digital echo on the other hand. Apart from that, it may be of a better analog generation than the Famous Groove release.

'All That I Am' has strings overdubbed at a scoring session on June 14 1966.

'When The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano' (few lines sung after Take 1) and 'Flowers On The Wall' (two lines sung before Take 17) can be heard spliced together before complete Take 16 of 'Adam And Evil' on FTD's Out In Hollywood. The are released in their correct order on FTD's Spinout extended soundtrack.

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.
