The definitive release of these sessions can be found on the Follow That Dream 5xCD set Guitar Man - The '67/'68 Sessions, where all outtakes and masters have been remixed and mastered from scratch. However, on this release some editing has been done to take out some swearing and inappropriate language, or they have muted (turned down) Elvis' vocal channel at some points.
There's Always Me Volume 2 has takes
1, 2 and 5 of 'Guitar Man' listed, but actually
has takes 2, 3 and only the complete take of Take
5.
Elvis can be heard singing part of 'High Noon'
before take 5 of 'Guitar Man' on Platinum - A Life In Music,
but this is actually from before Take 11.
The takes of 'Big Boss Man' on There's
Always Me Volume 4 have the left and right
channels swapped, and they are not in the order
they are listed on the cover.
Take 2 of 'Big Boss Man' on the 60's Box is faded, but it also has the dialogue from after the take edited in before the take.
The takes of 'Mine' on There's Always
Me Volume 4 have the left and right channels
swapped.
The unused instrumental track of 'Mine'
was called out for by Elvis hoping to get a satisfactory
take, and then overdub his vocal, but he carried on recording live.
The takes of 'Just Call Me Lonesome' on So High and Great Country Songs have the left
and right channels swapped.
Take 6 of 'Just Call Me Lonesome' was used
instead of the master in 1980 for the Guitar
Man overdub sessions.
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.
