Some of the take numbers listed for ‘Tonight’s All Right For Love’ (R1O) on Elvis Aron Presley<\/em> and Rare Elvis Volume 2<\/em> are incorrect. The correct take order is 3, 4, 2, 7 (announced as Take 7) and 17.<\/p>\n

The original length (mono) master of ‘Tonight’s All Right For Love’ issued on Elvis – A Legendary Performer Volume 1<\/em> is spliced at 0:59, but on the 1997 G.I. Blues<\/em> CD it is spliced at 1:10. The original splice is used again on Sony’s Complete Elvis Presley Masters<\/em> collection and the Franklin Mint<\/em> package, and FTD on their extended soundtracks of G.I. Blues<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A 2:10 minute extended master of ‘Tonight’s All Right For Love’ was released on the mono and stereo German pressings of the G.I. Blues<\/em> album in 1960 (1st pressing), and a German single in 1960 (47-9340) in mono. It can also be found on the German Record Club RCA CD Elvis In Germany<\/em> (18565-2) in stereo. It appears that after a second pressing of the album was done (in 1963?) they used the original length (1:18) master from then on, although strangely, some later orange label pressings of the G.I. Blues<\/em> album also contain the longer edit.<\/p>\n

Most of these sessions are available on the UK based Memphis Recording Service official release G.I. Blues – The Cafe Europa Sessions. Due to public domain copyright issues, this set does not contain tracks officially released by RCA in the last 50 years.<\/p>\n

FTD’s extended soundtrack releases of G.I. Blues are undoubtedly the best source for these sessions, although edited.<\/p>\n

All timings in the ‘Musical Breakdown’ below are taken from the Blu-Ray release of the movie.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
