The undubbed masters on Our Memories Of Elvis weren't really the pure undubbed masters. They were the fully overdubbed or regular masters but with certain instruments and backing vocal channels removed or stripped down.

The master take number for 'For The Heart' is unknown.

A remixed version of 'Hurt' can be found on Always On My Mind and the bootleg Welcome to The Jungle - Hurt.

Takes 1 to 4 of 'Danny Boy' were recorded over and do not exist any more.

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.

On the Sony Legacy release Way Down In The Jungle Room all masters have been remastered and all outtakes have been remixed.

Thanks to Josee Brus for help with identifying the one-liners sung during these sessions.
