"Unsurpassed Masters" has a strange Stereo mix on songs from this session, with Elvis' vocals in the left channel. These are possibly taken from a 2-Track Stereo tape, rather than the original 3-Track tape.

The movie 'Tickle Me' features (Such An) Easy Question with overdubbed orchestral backing, done during post production of that movie.

A remixed version of (Such An) Easy Question can be found on the 1980 1st pressing of the German RCA release 'Elvis Forever Volume 2'.

Elvis originally recorded the song Night Rider on October 16 1961. The Master from today's session was first released on the Time Life Elvis Presley Collection CD set (Volume 11) 'Treasures 1960 / 1963'.

Elvis can be heard singing part of the song "South Of The Border" before take 4 (Complete Take) of You'll Be Gone.

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.
