Notes

The backup vocals were removed on Snowbird before release.

Take 3 of Rags To Riches on 'Essential Elvis Volume 4' is edited (mixed) to take out Elvis' falsetto voice at the end of the take. Take 3 is complete on FTD's 'Love Letters From Elvis' Classic Album, but strangely it also contains backup vocal overdubs on this release too. It seems take 3 must have been considered to be the Master originally, and was overdubbed, before it was decided to use take 4 spliced with the line "tell me you're mine ever more..." from Take 3 as the Master.
