The running title of this movie at this time was The Reno Brothers instead of Love Me Tender.
The master of 'We're Gonna Move' was spliced
from Take 9 (0:00-2:18) and the last three bars
of Take 4 (2:18-2:24), along with the first part
of 'mens chorus remake' and 'handclaps' overdubs.
'We're Gonna Move' was originally recorded with the title 'There's A Leak In This Old Building'. On September 4 1956, after overdubs were added to the song, the title of the song was changed to 'We're Gonna Move' (see tape legend below).
The master of 'Poor Boy' was spliced as
follows:-
0:00-1:15 of Take 3 (S-12) = Start to "...that's
enough for me"
0:42-0:59 of Take 3 (S-12) = "They call me
poor boy..." to "...as long as I've
got a dolly like you"
0:59-1:07 of New Third Verse V.O - Take 6 (S-31)
= "Don't have a pig, don't have a cow, don't
have a horse to pull the plough"
1:07-1:41 of Take 3 (S-12) = "But what I've
got is a heart full of lovin' memory..." to end
Take 3 of 'Poor Boy' in stereo can be found
on Jailhouse Rock (Love Me Tender - Combined
Soundtrack). It is not the composite stereo master
as stated in Sessions III.
The original release of Heart & Soul featured
the stereo master of 'Love Me Tender', but
on the DSD re-release of that album it contained
the mono master.
The re-recording of 'Love Me Tender' can found on the 2015 album If I Can Dream, which contained Elvis' original vocals but with new backings by The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and which actually went to number one in the UK album charts.
There were ten versions of the 'Love Me Tender' duet from Viva Elvis, all using the same backing track with the 'In My Way' ending:
Thalia (Mexico)
Russian Red (Spain)
Anna Puu (Finland)
Jessica Mauboy (Australia)
Dea Norberg (US)
Marie-Mai (Canada)
Lisa Lois (Netherlands)
Dani Klein (Belgium)
Amel Bent (France)
Aurea (Portugal)
On the released Viva Elvis CD we got the duet with Dea Norberg.

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.
