The Japanese 24-Bit release of 'That's The Way It Is' runs slow all the way through at differing speeds between tracks, as opposed to the same tracks on the Special Edition box set (BMG - 2000) and FTD's 'That's The Way It Is' Classic Album. The differences between tracks on the 24-Bit CD are as follows:-

I Just Can't Help Believing (-1,3%)
Twenty Days And Twenty Nights (-1,6%)
How The Web Was Woven (-2,0%)
Patch It Up (-2,3%)
Mary In The Morning (-2,5%)
You Don't Have To Say You Love Me (-2,9%)
You've Lost That Loving Feeling (-0,9%)
I've Lost You (-1,2%)
Just Pretend (-1,7%)
Stranger In The Crowd (-1,5%)
The Next Step Is Love (-1,9%)
Bridge Over Troubled Water (-2,5%)

'Sessions III' lists July 18 as being the date when Brass & Strings were overdubbed to Twenty Days & Twenty Nights, I've Lost You and The Sound Of Your Cry but this cannot be the correct date for these overdubs. In the Session Logs they show that these overdubs were added before July 7, as this is the date of the listing in the logs, and all musicians used for these overdubs are listed as of this date. At the bottom right hand corner of the Session Log there is a date of what looks to be "06/30" indicating a date of June 30 1970 for this overdub session. The book 'Day By Day' by Ernst Jørgensen and Peter Guralnick lists July 14 as the date when the single 'I've Lost You / The Next Step Is Love' was shipped to suppliers, so these two songs couldn't have had overdubs done on July 18!

The count-in's for Takes 7 and 9 of Twenty Days & Twenty Nights can be found in the dialogue after Take 6 on FTD's 'That's The Way It Is' Classic Album.

The undubbed master of Twenty Days & Twenty Nights on "You Know, It Don't Have To Be Strictly Country Volume 1" and "Pure Diamonds Volume 4" along with the alternate takes of the song on FTD's 'That's The Way It Is' Classic Album all have the left and right channels swapped.

The master of Twenty Days & Twenty Nights is faded, the complete "Rough Mix" master can be found on FTD's 'That's The Way It Is' Classic Album.

I've Lost You is not listed in 'Sessions III' as having Backup Vocals overdubbed on June 22, but the Master contains Backup Vocals as well as Brass and Strings overdubs.

The stereo master of I've Lost You is faded at the end during the second "I've lost you, yes i've lost you" part. The complete unedited stereo master can be found on the album 'Heart & Soul', as well as the Venus bootleg "Unedited Masters - Nashville 1970" where it also contains the count-in.

The original mono master of I've Lost You is spliced to take out the first "I've lost you, yes i've lost you, I can't reach you any more, we ought to talk it over now but reason can't stand in for feeling.... oh..." at the end.

"Sessions III" wrongly lists the unedited undubbed master of I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago as being released on 'Essential Elvis Volume 4'. It wasn't!

The Sound Of Your Cry and Cindy, Cindy on "Pure Diamonds Volume 2" are both probably just the left channel only (centred) of a stereo acetate of the fully overdubbed master. By eliminating the right channel on the same tracks on 'Love Letters' and the '70's Box' I was able to get the exact same results. This is possible because backing vocals (and occasionally strings) tend to be panned 100% right on the original mixes from these sessions, so you can often eliminate them by cutting out the right channel, with no discernable bleed.

The unedited master of The Sound Of Your Cry on 'Greatest Hits Volume 1' and 'The Sound Of Your Cry' has remixed backing vocals.

In the 'In And Outtakes' section of FTD's 'Elvis Country' Classic Album it has Take 1 of The Fool listed as being the master, and released on the original album, but Take 2 is the master! Take 1 was originally released on 'A Hundred Years From Now - Essential Elvis Volume 4'.

On the Venus release "Unedited Masters - Nashville 1971" as a bonus track is Little Cabin On The Hill that is listed as being the unedited master (Take 2). This is in fact Take 1 that appeared on FTD's 'That's The Way It Is' classic album release where it also contained the full count-in.

Take 1 of Cindy, Cindy on 'Essential Elvis Volume 4' is edited to take out Elvis' bad language ("Fade this mother fucker..."), it is complete on FTD's 'Love Letters From Elvis' Classic Album, "You Know, It Don't Have To Be Strictly Country Volume 1" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On".

The original title of the 'Love Letters From Elvis' album was entitled 'Festival' and was going to include the following songs - Hence the inclusion of The Sound Of Your Cry and Sylvia on FTD's 'Love Letters From Elvis' Classic Album:-

The Sound Of Your Cry
Cindy, Cindy
Got My Mojo Working / Keep Your Hands Off Of It
I'll Never Know
It Ain't No Big Thing
This Is Our Dance
Heart Of Rome
When I'm Over You
If I Were You
Sylvia
Love Letters

Elvis also fooled around with the songs My Little Friend and I Got A Woman at these sessions.

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.
