Notes:

On 'Celluloid Rock Volume 2' the master of Flaming Star was released both as a 3-channel mix and as instrumental track with just the two instrumental channels. This gives the impression that the vocals were overdubbed, but this is incorrect as slight bleeding of the vocal track reveals how this mix was done.

What is interesting about the "Celluloid Rock" versions is that the 'Track' actually contains the count-in, and both the 'Track' and 'Vocal Overdub' are complete and not faded at the end.
