The original 2-track masters of the 6 songs used in the movie were released on LP in Australia, New Zealand and Argentina.

Poor digital echo on vocals plagues the 'Double Features' release.

On 'Celluloid Rock Volume 2' the masters from this session are released both as a 3-channel mix and as instrumental tracks with just the two instrumental channels. This gives the impression that the vocals were overdubbed, but this is incorrect as slight bleeding of the vocal track reveals how this mix was done.

The movie version of The Love Machine is incorrectly listed in "Sessions III" as being Take 12 but with verses swapped around.

The instrumental 'Track' (Take 1) of You Gotta Stop on FTD's 'Easy Come, Easy Go' Soundtrack is incorrectly listed as being Take 6 on the cover.

It is possible that Elvis sang as part of the backing vocals on the instrumental track of Leave My Woman Alone. Elvis (or someone sounding like him) can clearly be heard at the beginning of the track, and also less noticably throughout the track (Sample).

Elvis never recorded his lead vocals to Leave My Woman Alone.

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.
