The takes of Do You Know Who I Am? on "The American Way Volume 4" and "There's Always Me Volume 2" have left and right channels swapped.

'Sessions III' lists Elvis' Harmony vocal overdub of Do You Know Who I Am? as being done on September 26, but this surely cannot be the case as the strings and backup vocals were overdubbed on March 25, and the acetate found on "Memphis Memories" does not contain these overdubs, meaning it must have been cut before then. The most likely date for Elvis' Harmony vocal overdub is February 22.

Kentucky Rain is listed twice in the session logs. It's also listed as a "Remake" (10.00pm listing probably meaning 11.00pm), but I think this is a simple issue of just paperwork explanation for a recording that took longer to record than just one session. The most likely reason is that Elvis went out, arrived late, or studio time was spent just talking. At least with this explanation, the musicians got paid for two sessions, as is listed in the session logs!

The Long False Start of Take 5 of Kentucky Rain is incorrectly listed as Take 7 on the bootleg "Finding The Way Home". The False Start from Take 8 along with the three False Starts and Complete take of Take 9 were also incorrectly listed as being Take 10 on the bootleg "Finding The Way Home". Take 7 is incorrectly listed as being Take 8 on the bootleg "American Crown Jewels". All are presented in their correct order on "The American Way Volume 1".

Take 8 of Kentucky Rain on the '60's Box' has left and right channels swapped.

The date is also unknown when the Backup Vocal overdubs were added to Kentucky Rain - A possible explanation of this could be as follows:-

There is a page missing from the session logs between March 25 and May 5 1969, and as there appears to have been no backup vocals overdubbed to any songs in May (Apart from May 6 & 7 where Brass was also overdubbed) it is safe to assume that it is from March. The date of the job number at the bottom of the March 25 overdub session log is March 28, so it would be safe to assume that this missing overdub session would be before March 28. The March 25 overdub session was for "Strings" and "Backup Vocals" and was held from 2.00pm until 5.00pm but it may well be that another session was held in the evening of March 25 but just for the backup vocalists (Sonja Montgomery, Millie Kirkham, Dolores Edgin, Hurshell Wigington and Joe Babcock) to add their vocals to the missing six tracks.

The original Mono version of Kentucky Rain is 3:20 and the same mix and length of the song in Stereo was released on 'Elvis' Gold Records Volume 5' in 1985. This would be the definitive stereo version.

The original Mono version of Kentucky Rain can be found on the 'Legacy' edition of 'From Elvis In Memphis'.

When the '60's Box' set came out, Ernst insisted it was the stereo mix that Chips Moman had made, even though it was instantly obvious it was a different mix to the original master.
From then on, in constantly varying lengths, the song bounced around on various dubious compilations.

Different remixed Stereo versions of Kentucky Rain can be found on 'Suspicious Minds - The Memphis 1969 Anthology', 'The Memphis Record', 'Second To None' and 'Elvis' Gold Records Volume 5' among others.

Kentucky Rain is very 'cinematic'. If ever a song needed a long fade, this is it. In the original version he sings "...in the cold Kentucky Rain" NINE times (the last time being the absolute end of the song), but on some compilations it's over by the sixth. Plus, starting with the above-mentioned '60's Box', they discovered a counter-melody in the background and turned it way up to add to the confusion!
The 1999 'Suspicious Minds' 2-CD set had one of the worst versions of all. First, it was much too short (another 3:14 version), and second, Elvis' voice was way out in front in what I understand he used to call "The New York mix". The version on 'Second To None' was very good and virtually as long as the original. Now with the new remaster as heard on 'Elvis 75 - Good Rockin' Tonight', the 30 disc 'Complete Elvis Presley Masters' collection and the Franklin Mint set it sounds tampered with again!

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).

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.
