Notes: |
|
The master Matrix Number of My Way is incorrectly listed as APA4 1296 in 'A Life In Music' and 'Sessions III'. The master Matrix Number of I'll Be Home On Christmas Day (Remake) is incorrectly listed as APA4 1297 in 'A Life In Music' and 'Sessions III'. The confusion for the wrongly listed matrix numbers in both 'A Life In Music' and 'Sessions III' could be a 1978 listing for a 'Safety Tape' which lists My Way as APA4 1296 and I'll Be Home On Christmas Day (Remake) as APA4 1297. The Remake of I'll Be Home On Christmas Day was first released in 1982 on 'Memories Of Christmas' at which point it was issued a new Master serial number (MWA5 9108). On 'Today Tomorrow & Forever' it wrongly lists Take 9 of I'll Be Home On Christmas Day from the May 16 session as being released on there, when it is actually Take 9 from this date, as correctly listed in 'Sessions III'. On May 16 Elvis sang an extra verse for the first few takes of I'll Be Home On Christmas Day, and then that verse was omitted for whatever reason, from Take 4 onwards. The Master was then cut (Take 8) without that verse being included. On June 10 Elvis re-recorded I'll Be Home On Christmas Day again in a different tempo, but started off using the same (unused) verse. After take 9 someone decided, again for whatever reason, to leave out that verse, and take 10 was cut as the (Alternate) master without this verse. The extra verse is as follows:- |
||
| "It's
been so long since I've seen little John, Michelle, Christine and Karen; |
||
| (I almost) Forgot all the presents that I bought, a purse for little sister to carry. | ||
| (If)
I could set aside my pride, I'd just be on my way, |
||
| I'd be on that (Catch that) train tomorrow, I'll be home on Christmas Day". | ||

Thanks to Michael Schemies for pointing out the mistake regarding I'll Be Home On Christmas Day. In March of 2007 SONY decided to go through all of Elvis' masters and they retransferred everything, 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 including budget soundtracks, 'Legacy' releases and the Franklin Mint package. |
