The insert of Paralyzed was probably applied after 2:16

Take 5 of Old Shep was used by mistake on some original pressings of 'Elvis'

On the compostite Master of Too Much the insert is spliced at the beginning of Take 12.

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.
