All songs were recorded in Binaural.

At around 13 minutes into the movie 'Loving You' a forty second instrumental version of Candy Kisses can be heard but it's unknown when this was recorded or it it was just recorded on the movie set. It had been rumoured over the years that Elvis actually laid down vocals for this song, but no proof has ever surfaced.

An estimation of how the 'Movie Version' of Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do! was spliced:-

Intro of L-2
First 2.5 seconds of record version (H2WB 0255-9)
First 6 seconds of record version (2.5 seconds repeated)
First verse and second chorus of record version
Third verse and fourth chorus of record version
Ending of D-17
