It is not known what tracks C2001 to C2003 are.

The songs Baby If You'll Give Me All Your Love, Let Yourself Go and Please Don't Stop Loving Me were originally submitted to be used for the movie, but were eventually dropped. They were, however, used in later movies ('Double Trouble', 'Speedway' and 'Frankie & Johnny').

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.
