Notes

The re-recording of 'Guitar Man' (KWA5 8566) includes the original 'What'd I Say' ending that was faded on the original 1967 unedited undubbed master.

I would assume that 'You Don't Know Me', 'I Really Don't Want To Know' and 'Help Me Make It Through The Night' were all issued matrix numbers before these sessions commenced, but for whatever reason were eventually not re-recorded, so are not shown on the session logs.

These sessions were brought about to record a new sound to old Elvis recordings.

The result was a complete album entitled Guitar Man in 1981. A follow up CD was released by the collectors label Follow That Dream in 2000 entitled Too Much Monkey Business, which contained additional tracks not released on the original LP.

Thanks to Juan Luis Gonzalez Brugal for sharing the unreleased versions of 'If You Talk In Your Sleep' and 'Guitar Man', from his own private collection.
