According to 'Sessions III', the original stereo
version of Wild in the Country with overdubbed
maracas was overdubbed by Boots Randolph during
the post production of the movie sometime in November,
and can be found on the European vinyl pressing
of 'Elvis For Everyone'. The fact is it was originally
released in 1965 on the 'Stereo' only pressings
of 'Elvis For Everyone' and again on the 1972
vinyl UK re-release of 'Elvis For Everyone'.
Strong rumours over the years have persisted
that it was in fact overdubbed in England, as
there is no tape of it in the RCA vaults, and
the overdub is not listed in any of the original
"Wild In The Country" session paperwork.
Another possibility is that the song could have
been overdubbed at the same overdub session as
Tomorrow Night on March
18 1965.
This overdub can be found on the old bootleg
LP's "From The Beach To The Bayou" and
"Special Delivery", among others, where
a fake "Take 40" announcement by Elvis
from another session, was sneakily inserted before
it.
