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. 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, 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. |
