Details of these overdub sessions come from the logbook of Mary Holladay Pederson, who sang backing vocals at these sessions.

Because Susan Pilkington had fell sick with laryngitis and flew home, Ginger Holladay was brought in to replace her on these sessions. They were Ginger's first recording sessions and she was not yet in AFTRA, which is probably why she is not listed on RCA's session logs for the songs overdubbed here - Susan Pilkington is listed instead. Chips Moman also brought in Sandra Posey at some point during these sessions, probably thinking that Ginger Holladay didn't have enough experience yet, and she is listed on the session log for 'Inherit The Wind'.

Mary also confirmed that Elvis was at American Sound studio on their first day of these overdub sessions (January 24) doing vocal repairs to songs already recorded. Note - The photo of Mary, Jeannie, Donna and Ginger (shown below) has been wrongly dated in countless publications over the years, anywhere from January 20th to the 23rd.

'Suspicious Minds' had two backing vocal overdubs done during the January 24 session, before Elvis recorded his harmony vocal overdub.

'Rubberneckin' also had two backing vocal overdubs done on January 26 - one with partial backing vocals, and another with different, more complete backing vocals.

Sessions III lists 'Gentle On My Mind' as having backup vocals overdubbed on January 23, but the session log shows that as of February 4 (date of the job number) no backup vocals had been overdubbed*.

Sessions III lists 'My Little Friend' as having backup vocals overdubbed on January 23, but the session log shows that as of February 4 (date of the job number) no backup vocals had been overdubbed*.

Sessions III lists 'Without Love' having backup vocals overdubbed on January 23, but the session log shows that as of February 5 (date of the job number) no backup vocals had been overdubbed*.

*According to Mary Holladay Pederson's logbook, 'Gentle On My Mind' and 'My Little Friend' had backup vocals overdubbed on March 20, and 'Without Love (There Is Nothing)' had backup vocals overdubbed on May 8.

Sessions III lists that 'Suspicious Minds' had backup vocal overdubs done on January 22, but surely this cannot be the case as the song wasn't recorded until the early hours of January 23!

There are two draft mono mix tapes, of which at least one is dated February 28, 1969. A tape log of a later tape copy of both these tapes (except for the last three tracks of the second tape - 'Don't Cry Daddy', 'A Little Bit Of Green' & 'You'll Think Of Me') was shown in the magazine The Man and His Music #13 listed as "Basic + Alt. Vocals". This source is referred to as the "Draft Mix Tape". This mono tape was actually the source of the 1992 bootleg American Rejects (AR 1569), although the notes claimed acetate source for that. The tape contains nothing recorded after January 26 1969.

The tape is a later copy of two draft rough mix tapes of January 1969 recordings (Tape 1: 'I'm Movin' On' - 'Without Love (There Is Nothing)', dated February 28, 1969, and Tape 2: 'From A Jack To A King' - 'You'll Think Of Me'). A breakdown of what the tape contains is as follows:
1. I'm Movin' On - draft composite of Elvis' original and re-recorded vocals (January 22), containing overdubbed backing vocals (January 19 morning) and band and brass overdubs (January 19 evening).
2. Wearin' That Loved On Look - with overdubbed backing vocals (January 19 morning), guitar overdub (January 22) and Elvis' replaced vocals (January 24).
3. Come Out Come Out (Wherever You Are) - fast instrumental track (January 14).
4. Come Out Come Out (Wherever You Are) - slow instrumental track (January 14), with tape cut.
5. This Is The Story - with Elvis' replaced vocals (January 24) and overdubbed backing vocals (January 25).
6. Gentle On My Mind - with track replacement overdubs and Elvis' vocal repair (January 20).
7. Long Black Limousine - with Elvis' vocal repair (January 22), brass and piano overdubs (January 22) and overdubbed backing vocals (January 25).
8. Suspicious Minds - with overdubbed backing vocals (January 24) and Elvis' harmony vocal overdub (January 24).
9. I'll Be There - takes 5 (false start) and 6 (alternate master) with overdone vocal echo (January 23).
10. I'll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms) (January 23).
11. Without Love (There Is Nothing) - take 1 (alternate master) (January 23).
12. From A Jack To A King - with Elvis' original mock voice at end (January 22) and overdubbed backing vocals (January 26).
13. Hey Jude - take 7 (undubbed master) (January 21).
14. Rubberneckin' - with partially overdubbed backing vocals (January 26).
15. In The Ghetto - with Elvis' original take 22 vocals (January 20) and overdubbed backing vocals (January 25).
16. My Little Friend - Elvis' vocal overdub to track (undubbed master) (January 21) with short count-in at start.
17. Mama Liked The Roses - with Elvis' master vocal overdub to track (January 21) and Elvis' harmony vocal overdub (January 24), with short count-in at start.
18. Inherit The Wind - draft composite of vocal overdub takes 1 and 2 (January 21), containing overdubbed backing vocals (January 26).
19. Poor Man's Gold - instrumental track (January 15).
20. Don't Cry Daddy - Elvis' vocal overdub to track (January 22) and Elvis' two harmony vocal overdubs (January 24).
21. A Little Bit Of Green - with Elvis' original take 3 vocals (January 15).
22. You'll Think Of Me - take 23 rhythm track with Elvis' replaced vocals (January 24).

A remixed version of 'You'll Think Of Me' can be found on The Memphis Record.

The single version of 'You'll Think Of Me' is remixed when compared to the album version.

Just after Take 3 of 'Wearin' That Loved On Look' on Memphis Sessions (FTD) Elvis can be heard singing a couple of lines of 'A Little Less Conversation'. The same two lines of 'A Little Less Conversation' can be heard spliced to the beginning of 'I'm Movin' On' on Suspicious Minds - The Memphis 1969 Anthology.

Piano player Bobby Wood and guitar player Reggie Young are listed as having been included on overdubs of 'Long Black Limousine', but not 'Wearin' That Loved On Look' on January 22. A comparison with the undubbed session implies that it is rather the other way around with Reggie Young, as an overdubbed guitar can be identified on 'Wearin' That Loved On Look', but not on 'Long Black Limousine'. Apart from that, an overdubbed 'bell' is actually heard during the intro of 'Long Black Limousine' (double effect on piano notes). This is similar to the overdubbed bell sound on 'Mama Liked The Roses'. The bell instrument is not easily identified, but could be an electric piano, which in that case would confirm the Bobby Wood overdub information at least.

Finally, no brass at all can be identified on 'Wearin' That Loved On Look'.

The vocal replacement' on 'Wearin' That Loved On Look' consists of the following:-
0:00-0:55 "I have to leave town...that loved on look"
0:56-1:06 "Shoop shoop shoop shoop" to "Baby, you're wearin' that loved on look"
1:07-1:22 "Baby, if you ever loved me" to "in Arkansas"
1:23-1:24 "Baby..."
1:24-2:48 "...you're wearing that loved on look" to end

It is possible that Elvis did some of the vocal repairs listed here, at the January 21-22 session, as there are no confirmed dates when Elvis replaced his vocals on 'Wearin' That Loved On Look', 'You'll Think Of Me' and 'This Is The Story.

Although there are no backup vocals present during Elvis' vocal replacement on 'In the Ghetto', the "Vocal Group" track (track 2 of the 8-track tape) will have been turned off while Elvis replaced his vocals on track 7 of the 8-track tape.
Track 1 = used for later hi-strings overdubs
Track 2 = used for vocal group overdubs
Track 3 = used for later brass overdubs
Track 4 = used for later low-strings overdubs
Track 5 = used for bass
Track 6 = used for piano, organ & rhythm guitar
Track 7 = used for Elvis' vocal (original vocal erased and re-recorded)
Track 8 = used for drums

By taking out two of the four channels from the rare Japanese Quadraphonic LP of From Elvis In Memphis is how the "previously unreleased versions" were created on the bootleg The Other Side Of Memphis (Bilko).

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.
