Notes:

Take 7 (FS & Master) of Milky White Way is wrongly listed as Takes 7 & 8 on the 'Unsurpassed Masters' box.

A splice of takes 4 & 5 of His Hand In Mine, different to the Spliced Master, can be found on 'Fame & Fortune'.

Takes 4 and 5 of His Hand In Mine on the 'Unsurpassed Masters' box and 'Surrender' both have the parts used for the Spliced Master edited in, presumable as these parts would have been cut from the tape.

Take 4 of Surrender on the 'Unsurpassed Masters' box and 'Surrender' have the Spliced Master edited in with the Count-In for Take 4, presumable as the rest of Take 4 would have been cut from the tape.

Remixed versions of Surrender can be found on 'Elvis 30 #1 Hits (E1)' and 'Top Ten Hits'.
