Sessions III incorrectly lists 'Too Much Monkey Business' (KWA5 8236) as being released on 1981's Guitar Man album and FTD's Too Much Monkey Business when in fact it was the October master (KWA5 8556) that appeared on these releases.

These sessions were brought about to record a new sound to old Elvis recordings.

The result was a complete album entitled Guitar Man in 1981. A follow up CD was released by the collectors label Follow That Dream in 2000 entitled Too Much Monkey Business, which contained additional tracks not released on the original LP.

Thanks to Juan Luis Gonzalez Brugal for sharing the unreleased versions of 'Too Much Monkey Business', 'For Ol' Times Sake' and 'Susan When She Tried', from his own private collection.
