A comparison of the different versions of I'm
Movin' On released, are shown above.
The 'Vocal Repair' on I'm Movin' On consists
of the following:-
0:00-0:05 "That..."
0:05-0:35 "...big eight-wheeler" to"move
on, baby"
0:53-1:08 (*) replaced with alternate lyrics,
(**):
(*) "That big bad whistle as he blew and
blew" to "Please listen to me let this
rattler free and keep movin' on. Move on son,
move on."
(**) "Mr fireman won't you please listen
to me" to "Please listen to me let this
rattler free and keep movin' on. Move on son,
move on."
1:08-1:38 added, non-verbose "ta-ta"
1:38-2:42 "I told you baby" to end
The re-recorded 'Guitar Man (1980)' / 'Too Much
Monkey Business (FTD)' version of I'm Movin'
On has the repaired vocal track only.
There are two draft mono mix tapes, of which
at least one is dated February 28, 1969. A tape
log of a later tape copy of both these tapes (except
for the last three tracks of the second tape
- Don't Cry Daddy, A Little Bit Of Green
& You'll Think Of Me) was shown
in the magazine 'The Man and His Music' #13 listed
as 'Basic + Alt. Vocals'. This source is referred
to as the 'Draft mix tape'. This mono tape was
actually the source of the 1992 bootleg 'American
Rejects' (AR 1569), although the notes claimed
acetate source for that.
Different remixed versions of In The Ghetto
can be found on 'Elvis 30 #1 Hits (E1)' and 'The
Memphis Record'.
Remixed versions of Long Black Limousine
and Don't Cry Daddy can be found on 'The
Memphis Record'.
The instrumental 'Track' Poor Man's Gold
can be heard after the last track (Kentucky
Rain) on "Finding The Way Home".
Part of Take 1 (0:55 - 1:55 & 2:55 - 4:15)
of Hey Jude is spliced with Take 5 on FTD's
'Memphis Sessions'.
Hey Jude is listed as "Track Only"
in the session logs. It's possible that Elvis'
vocals were not considered good enough for release
at the time this song was recorded, although overdubs
were still added to the song. This would explain
why Hey Jude was not released with the
rest of the songs from these sessions, in 1969,
but was eventually released in 1972 on the album
'Elvis Now'.
Hey Jude is also listed as being recorded
on January 21 (8.00pm - 11.00pm) in Ernst Jørgensen's
book 'A Life In Music', although this song is
mentioned in his other "Sessions" books
'Recording Sessions' and 'Reconsider Baby', and
in the session logs, as being recorded this morning
between 1.00am and 4.00am.
By taking out two of the four channels from the
rare Japanese Quadraphonic LP of 'From Elvis In
Memphis' is how the "Previously Unreleased
Versions" were created on the bootleg "The
Other Side Of Memphis" (Bilko).
No songs were recorded this evening, as Elvis
went into the studio early to see Roy Hamilton,
who is recording another album for Chips Moman.
Elvis offers Roy one of the songs he is planning
to record himself, "Angelica" and spends
a few hours with him before resuming his own recording
session at 12.30am (January 23).
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.
