Strings were removed from 'Always On My Mind', 'Fool', 'It's A Matter Of Time' and 'Separate Ways' before release, although some strings can still be heard on the released masters of 'Always On My Mind' and 'Fool'.

The ''Strings'' version of 'Always On My Mind' on the 1985 compilation album Always On My Mind and the Japanese Complete Single Collection does not have the piano intro that is present on the overdubbed acetate and the Venus bootleg Unedited Masters - Hollywood To Nashville 1972-1980 - This appears to be a different mix.

The overdubbed master of 'It's A Matter Of Time' on the Venus bootleg Unedited Masters - Hollywood To Nashville 1972-1980comes from a tape source as opposed to the overdubbed master that appeared on For The Good Times from an acetate source.

An edited overdubbed strings version of 'Fool' can be found on the Elvis Aron Presley box-set. The unedited vesion can be found on the bootleg For The Good Times, taken from an acetate source.

An extended version of the already edited master of 'Fool', with overdubbed strings, can be found on the cassette version of the Elvis Aron Presley box-set.

The overdubbed version of 'Separate Ways' can be found on the bootlegs For The Good Times and Tiger Man Volume 2, taken from an acetate source, and in much improved sound quality from a tape source on the Venus bootleg Unedited Masters - Nashville Revisited.
