The master of 'Patch It Up' was edited for
release. The unedited master can be found on Let
It Roll but the intro' is clipped, and can also
be found on FTD's That's The Way It Is classic
album although it's only partially overdubbed and faded on there.
The complete overdubbed unedited master can be
found on the Venus release Unedited Masters
- Nashville 1971 as a bonus track.
The count-in for Take 9 of 'Patch It Up'
can be found in the dialogue after Take 7 on FTD's That's The Way It Is classic album.
Sessions III lists July 18 as being the date
when brass and strings were overdubbed to 'There
Goes My Everything', 'If I Were You' and
'Only Believe' but I doubt this date is correct
for these overdubs. In the session logs there
is a listing dated July 7 that lists all musicians
used for these overdubs (as listed in Sessions
III). 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.

Elvis' album was entitled 'Festival' and was going

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.
All outtakes and undubbed masters used on the Sony 4xCD
set From Elvis In Nashville have been completely remixed
and remastered from scratch.
Thanks to Erik Rasmussen.
