The Instrumentral intro (0:00-0:05) and second verse (0:47-1:25) is cut on the released MGM/RCA master of Wolf Call.

The acetate of Wolf Call on the bootleg LP "Kid Galahad Sessions Volume 3" is a different vocal take to the master.

The 'Movie' version of Wolf Call has overdubbed 'dog barking' noises in the background.

A fake overdubbed version of Wolf Call can be found on the bootlegs "Animal Instinct" and "Fried Banana's Ice Cream & Gatorade", but this has the intro to GOV Take 4 from the 'Paradise Hawaiian Style' sessions, tagged to the beginning of it!

Track '2010' Do The Clam was extended before Elvis' Vocal Overdub.

The middle part of the song (1:02-1:38) and ending (2:00-2:23) is cut on the released MGM/RCA master of Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce. A tape recording of the unedited acetate of was posted on You Tube in November 2012 - Thanks to 'drghanem'.

The last part of the second verse, and the first part of the third verse (from after "Spread a blanket on the ground..." to "3am go for a swim..."), along with a short instrumental break (after "Call the cops it's all right..." to "Course when the cops have come and gone...") is cut from the released MGM/RCA master of Startin' Tonight.

The Instrumentral intro (0:00-0:04) and second verse (0:32-1:01) is cut on the released MGM/RCA master of I've Got to Find My Baby.

The 'Movie' version of Spring Fever may be any production number from 2019 to 2022, and is spliced from parts of 2005 Take 24 (Elvis' vocals) and parts of 2503 (Female vocals).

Another possible production number from 2019 to 2022 is I've Got News For You sung by Nina Talbot in the movie.

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.
