The version used in the movie has the second
verse edited out, and it is unknown if the Movie
Version is take 9 or take 13.
This take of Roustabout can be found on
a very rare Promo that was given to select movie
theatres to play in the lobby of the theatre,
while the movie 'Roustabout' was playing.
The take on the bootleg "Memphis Tennessee"
is taken from an acetate source, and originally
had the NO Take 11 (Track) announcement which
was cut.
The engineer calling "Hey" that can
be heard on 'Collectors Gold' is from the Track,
and not the Vocal Overdub.
The last production number used at the March
sessions is "LO", which was for Wheels
On My Heels, and the next number used is "NO",
which is for the rhythm Track for Roustabout
on April 29. It is unknown what the missing "MO"
production number could have been for but it is
unlikely that it's for the Remake of Little
Egypt as the master is Take 21, so it's assumed
that the take numbering of "AO" continued
from Take 16 to 21 for the Remake.
An EPE auction in July / August 2010 has thrown
up some questions regarding these sessions, as
one of the lots has some of Elvis' personally
owned acetates of demo's presented to be used
in this movie. Looking at the acetates, an interesting
thought has emerged that the missing "Track
MO" from these sessions could have been for
Shout It Out. When you look at the acetate
it has "USED" written on it, where the
others - Carnival Of Dreams and I Never
Had It So Good clearly has "Demo - Not
Elvis" written on them. This indicates that
Shout It Out could have actually been recorded,
but not used in the movie 'Roustabout', but as
the tapes are still missing from these March sessions
apart from the masters and takes used for masters,
there is no way of knowing exactly what was recorded.
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.
