Except for masters and alternate masters - all original 3-Track tapes are lost.

'Could I Fall In Love' is edited for final master. The verse from 0:55 to 1:34 is omitted, and the intro is extended.

The Jordanaires are missing from the alternate master of 'Long Legged Girl (With The Short Dress On)' when this was released on the Today, Tomorrow And Forever box-set and FTD's extended soundtrack of Double Trouble, although their voices do appear on an acetate which was cut of this.

Thanks to Kevan Budd for initial info on the unedited 'There's So Much World To See' (2004) and 'Long Legged Girl (With The Short Dress On)' (2005).

An approximation of how the musical score fits into the movie is shown below, but this is just an educated guess as some timings of tracks do not match timings on MGM's Daily Music Reports from the scoring sessions.

All timings in the 'Musical Breakdown' below are taken from the DVD release of the movie.
