It is unknown which Vocal Overdub take was used for the master of Hard Luck, but on the bootleg "The Frankie & Johnny Sessions" it is listed as being take 3.

It is possible that Harry Morgan and Henry Cordin overdubbed their backing vocals to Chesay on this day.

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.
