The Stereo takes of Cotton Candy Land,
How Would You Like To Be, Beyond The
Bend and Take Me To The Fair on "Girl
Happy At The Worlds Fair" have the left and
right channels swapped.
I'm Falling In Love Tonight on 'Elvis
Aron Presley' has the left and right channels
swapped.
The logs for the tapes handed over to RCA from
MGM in 1962 have the takes of the 'Movie Versions'
listed as Master, rather than the 'Record Versions'.
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.
