Notes

Once a matrix number had been issued to a song, the same matrix number was used for all takes or different rehearsals of the same song, regardless of whether it was recorded on March 30 or 31.

The Gospel section at the end of the rehearsal, is presented in binaural, as it was originally recorded, on the Madison bootleg Rock My Soul, although 'I Should Have Been Crucified' (listed as 'Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone') is presented out of sequence.

Not listed as source, but included in the Follow That Dream 2xBook & 4xCD set Elvis - Now In Person 1972, are the following tracks found on CD2:
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
C.C. Rider (rehearsal 2)
Proud Mary (rehearsal 2)
Never Been To Spain (rehearsal 2)
Until It’s Time For Me To Go

The exact same tracks as above, can also be found on the 2023 Sony vinyl 2xLP set Burning Love - The RCA Rehearsals (19658-74626-1) released in conjunction with Record Store Day.
