Notes:

Some of the take numbers listed for Tonight's All Right for Love (R10) on 'Elvis Aron Presley' and 'Rare Elvis Volume 2' are incorrect. The correct take order is 3, 4, 2, 8 (announced as Take 7) and 17.

The master of Tonight's All Right for Love as released on a single in 1960 (Europe only) and 'A Legendary Performer Volume 1' is spliced at 0:59, but on the 1997 'G.I. Blues' version it is spliced at 1:10.
