Notes:

Elvis can be heard fooling around with Mother In Law before Take 2 of It Ain't No Big Thing on 'A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On', but this was edited in and is not actually part of take 2.

It Ain't No Big Thing (But It's Growing) is not listed in 'Sessions III' as having Backup Vocals overdubbed on June 22 or September 21, but the Master contains Backup Vocals as well as Brass and Strings overdubs.

Although not listed on the cover or in the booklet, the count-in for Take 8 and a brief Rehearsal (Take 10) of This Is Our Dance can be found on FTD's 'Love Letters From Elvis' Classic Album.

On FTD's 'Love Letters From Elvis' Classic Album there is what is listed as being Heart Of Rome - Take 3 'Undubbed Master', but what we get in fact is the unedited Take 3 along with the unlisted Workpart Take 1. The (Spliced) 'Undubbed Master' does not appear on this release.

The "Undubbed Masters" of some songs that appear on 'Pure Diamonds Volume 1' and 'Rough Cut Diamonds' (along with Heart Of Rome on 'Tiger Man Volume 2') are all 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 BMG releases 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.

Just Pretend possibly had overdubs on June 9.

'Sessions III' lists July 18 as being the date when Brass & Strings were overdubbed to It Ain't No Big Thing, You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, Just Pretend, This Is Our Dance and Life 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.

'Sessions III' also lists the date as being October 28 when additional Brass & Strings were overdubbed to It Ain't No Big Thing, This Is Our Dance and Life but this is the date of the listing of the Session Log. At the bottom right hand corner of the Session Log there is a hand written date "10/27/70" indicating a date of October 27 1970 for this overdub session.

The original mono single version of Life had as slightly different ending to the same master found on CD, but this is probably down to a slightly different mix.

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
I Got My Mojo Working / Keep Your Hands Off It
I'll Never Know
It Ain't No Big Thing
