All songs were recorded in Binaural.
The count-in for Dixieland Rock (Track
G - Take 14) can be found on the old bootleg LP
"From The Beach To The Bayou" where
it was sneakily inserted before Take 6 of Steadfast,
Loyal & True (Track M). This deceivingly
made it look as though it was Take 14 of Steadfast,
Loyal & True on the LP.
Also on "From The Beach To The Bayou"
the count-in for Young Dreams (Track Q
- Take 8) was sneakily inserted before Take 7
of Lover Doll (Track H), deceivingly making
it look as though it was Take 8 of Lover Doll
on the LP.
None of the listed 'Movie Version' masters (Track
N Take 4 - Short, or Take 8 - Long) of As Long
As I Have You were actually used in the movie
- The version used in the movie is Track K Take
10 which is the record version.
In 1965 a new matrix number was issued (SPA3
6769) to Dixieland Rock, and also Muskrat
Ramble was issued a matrix number (SPA3 6770).
A possibility is that track P (RCA didn't use
track O because of confusion with the number zero)
was an instrumental in the movie but nothing is
confirmed, and it could have been recorded at
a later date (January 23).
On the CD "Elvis Presley - As He Was Meant
To Be Heard Volume 3" there is what's listed
as a stereo version of Lover Doll. This
is actually nothing of the sort - It's the LP
and Single versions of the song (undubbed and
overdubbed) mixed together in two separate channels,
giving a fake stereo effect!
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.
In a letter from Hal Wallis on January 8th 1958,
outlining what songs would be recorded for different
scenes in the movie, it appears there was an additional
song called Stop Me which was planned to
be recorded.
Stop Me
(Authors Unknown)
You miss me when I'm gone
You really want me near
Stop me if I'm wrong
Stop me from being here
The kiss we held so long
You want your whole life through
Stop me if I'm wrong
Stop me from kissing you
Don't let our lips meet
If yours only mean to deceive
For when our lips meet
This is what I believe
Your love for me is strong
And always will be true
Stop me if I'm wrong
Stop me from loving you
Thanks to Bill Bram for the lyrics to Stop
Me
