The undubbed masters on 'Our Memories Of Elvis' weren't really the pure undubbed masters. They were the fully overdubbed or regular masters but with certain instruments and backing vocal channels removed or stripped down.

An edited (2:21) version of Burning Love, with omitted part of verse ("Help me I'm flaming, I must be a hundred and nine, burning, burning, burning and nothing can cool me..."), was released in 1987 on the BMG Ariola release 'The Definitive Country Album'.

Takes 5 and 6 of Burning Love can be found on the Venus release "Unedited Masters - Hollywood To Nashville 1972-1980" although Take 6 contains overdubs, as the overdubbed cowbell and additional guitar can be clearly heard.

An extended version of the already edited master of Fool, with strings, can be found on the Cassette version of the box set 'Elvis Aron Presley'.

There appears to be some controversy regarding the different mixes of the song Fool released on FTD's 'Elvis (Fool)' classic album.
The mix of the song on FTD's 'Elvis (Fool)' (Track 14), FTD's 'Standing Room Only', 'Elvis (Fool)' (1994 CD) and 'Elvis (Fool)' (Original LP) appear to be the same.
The mix on Track 1 on FTD's 'Elvis (Fool)' appears to have a different mix (0.5% faster, more echo, the instruments themselves aren't so clear as on the other mix, and the vocals are slightly more on the right).
I think that Track 1 on FTD's 'Elvis (Fool)' is the "Original Alternate Mix" and should have been placed as Track 14, and that Track 14 on FTD's 'Elvis (Fool)' is the "Originally Released Mix" and should have been placed as Track 1.
Basically, they're reversed!

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.

Thanks to Luuk Bonthond regarding extended versions of songs on the cassette version of 'Elvis Aron Presley'.

Thanks to Adrian V Stokes regarding the edited versions of songs on the BMG Ariola set of 'Definitive' albums.
