The Master is spliced from Take 6 and the last word from Take 2.

There once was some information about Guadalajara (v.o. take 2) being released on Double Features by mistake, but at least one copy of that CD has the spliced master as it should have.

Take 2 on the Follow That Dream soundtrack of 'Fun In Acapulco' is faded - It is complete on the vinyl 'A Legendary Performer Volume 3'.

The left and right channels are swapped on 'Double Features'.

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.
