Notes

Numbers shown in brackets refer to the Slate / Clapperboard numbers used during filming.

These are Elvis' filmed vocal overdubs to already recorded 'Tracks' that will become part of the composite 'Road Medley' used for the filmed soundtrack.

The other production numbers are only lip synched performances by Elvis to material already recorded between June 20 & 23.

All production numbers can be found on 'The 68 Comeback' Deluxe DVD set.

Take 3 of If I Can Dream on FTD's 'Burbank 68' is incorrectly listed as being take 4 - It also has the count-in for 914 (Tag) instead of 917 (Take 3).

It Hurts Me on the Soundtrack version of the Road Medley is different to the Record version of the Road Medley as Elvis sings different lyrics.
