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. The undubbed master on "Welcome To the Jungle - Way Down" (Track 11) is the same as the version on 'Our Memories Of Elvis'.

On some releases, including the newest remasters, a dog can be heard barking at the end of Way Down - It is most audible on the Rough Mix Master on the bootleg "Welcome To the Jungle - Way Down".

The Way Down session is not presented in the correct order on the bootleg "Welcome To the Jungle - Way Down".

The master of Pledging My Love is edited.

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.
