Except for Masters and Alternate Masters - all original 3-Track tapes are lost.

"Celluloid Rock Volume 2" (Cool Romeo) has a binaural mix used for the Masters.

Take 10 of City By Night may have been considered as 'Alternate Master' as it survived (in Stereo) on the Master tape reel.

The Master of Old MacDonald is edited - Elvis' complete vocal ending is cut from the end of the song.

Before Take 2 of the 'Intro - Vocal Repair' (2014) of Old MacDonald, Elvis can be heard singing a line of "When I Fall In Love".

Old MacDonald on the bootlegs "From The Archives Volume 1" and "From The Archives Volume 2" (Hidden Track), and Could I Fall In Love on the bootleg "From The Archives Volume 2" (Hidden Track) is just one channel removed, and then centred, from the Binaural tape. Fake!

Take 1 of the 'Harmony Vocal' overdub (2015) of Could I Fall In Love may have been considered as 'Alternate Master' as it survived (in Stereo) on the Master tape reel. It is announced as "Twenty F... (Announcer stumbles) Thirteen Take One" (instead of "Twenty Fifteen"), and was released (without count-in) as 'Vocal Only' on FTD's 'Double Trouble' Soundtrack..

Could I Fall In Love is edited for final master. The original verse from 0:55 to 1:34 is omitted, and the intro is extended.

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.
