The live recording of 'Stay Away, Joe' that
was released by mistake on the first Camden Almost
in Love LP is actually the movie version of the
song. So contrary to conclusions made in A
Life in Music ("Elvis sang nineteen
takes with the band with no success."), Take
17 probably was considered a success by MGM.
The different mix of 'All I Needed Was The
Rain' on FTD's Stay Away, Joe extended soundtrack
is done by going back to the original 3 (or 4?)
track reels with the benefit of getting more definition
and more detail out of the track, as opposed to
the 2 track masters.
The additional instruments used for the movie
version of 'All I Needed Was The Rain' were
most likely overdubbed the following week using
L.A. musicians.
The original temporary matrix numbers for these
songs issued by RCA to MGM (U3KM 2246-48) were
later changed for record release by RCA. Strangely,
the temporary matrix numbers are used on FTD's
extended soundtrack of Stay Away, Joe instead
of RCA's master matrix numbers.
In the movie Elvis sings a couple of lines of 'Lovely
Mamie' recorded on the movie set.
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.
