"There's Always Me Volume 2" has takes 1, 2 and 5 of Guitar Man listed, but actually has takes 2, 3 and only the complete take of take 5.

Elvis can be heard singing part of High Noon before take 5 of Guitar Man on 'Platinum', but this is actually from before Take 11.

The takes of Big Boss Man on "There's Always Me Volume 4" have the left and right channels swapped, and they are not in the order they are listed on the cover.

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.
