Details of this overdub session comes from the logbook of Mary Holladay Pederson, who sang backing vocals at this session with the vocal group Southern Comfort.<\/p>\n

There are two draft mono mix tapes, of which at least one is dated February 28, 1969. A tape log of a later tape copy of both these tapes (except for\u00a0the last three tracks of the second tape – ‘Don’t Cry Daddy’, ‘A Little Bit Of Green’ & ‘You’ll Think Of Me’) was shown in the magazine The Man and His Music<\/em> #13 listed as “Basic + Alt. Vocals”. This source is referred to as the “Draft Mix Tape”. This mono tape was actually the source of the 1992 bootleg American Rejects<\/em> (AR 1569), although the notes claimed acetate source for that.\u00a0The tape contains nothing recorded after January 26 1969.<\/p>\n

The tape is a later copy of two draft rough mix tapes of January 1969 recordings (Tape 1:\u00a0‘I’m Movin’ On’ – ‘Without Love (There Is Nothing)’, dated February 28, 1969, and Tape 2:\u00a0‘From A Jack To A King’ – ‘You’ll Think Of Me’). A breakdown of what the tape contains is as follows:
\n1. I’m Movin’ On<\/strong> – draft composite of Elvis’ original and re-recorded vocals (January 22), containing overdubbed backing vocals (January 19 morning) and band and brass overdubs (January 19 evening).
\n2. Wearin’ That Loved On Look<\/strong> – with overdubbed backing vocals (January 19 morning), guitar overdub (January 22) and Elvis’ replaced vocals (January 24).
\n3. Come Out Come Out (Wherever You Are)<\/strong> – fast instrumental track (January 14).
\n4. Come Out Come Out (Wherever You Are)<\/strong> – slow instrumental track (January 14), with tape cut.
\n5. This Is The Story<\/strong> – with Elvis’ replaced vocals (January 24) and overdubbed backing vocals (January 25).
\n6. Gentle On My Mind<\/strong> – with track replacement overdubs and Elvis’ vocal repair (January 20).
\n7. Long Black Limousine<\/strong> – with Elvis’ vocal repair (January 22), brass and piano overdubs (January 22) and overdubbed backing vocals (January 25).
\n8. Suspicious Minds<\/strong> – with overdubbed backing vocals (January 24) and Elvis’ harmony vocal overdub (January 24).
\n9. I’ll Be There<\/strong> – takes 5 (false start) and 6 (alternate master) with overdone vocal echo (January 23).
\n10. I’ll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms)<\/strong> (January 23).
\n11. Without Love (There Is Nothing)<\/strong> – take 1 (alternate master) (January 23).
\n12. From A Jack To A King<\/strong> – with Elvis’ original mock voice at end (January 22) and overdubbed backing vocals (January 26).
\n13. Hey Jude<\/strong> – take 7 (undubbed master) (January 21).
\n14. Rubberneckin’<\/strong> – with partially overdubbed backing vocals (January 26).
\n15. In The Ghetto<\/strong> – with Elvis’ original take 22 vocals (January 20) and overdubbed backing vocals (January 25).
\n16. My Little Friend<\/strong> – Elvis’ vocal overdub to track (undubbed master) (January 21) with short count-in at start.
\n17. Mama Liked The Roses<\/strong> – with Elvis’ master vocal overdub to track (January 21) and Elvis’ harmony vocal overdub (January 24), with short count-in at start.
\n18. Inherit The Wind<\/strong> – draft composite of vocal overdub takes 1 and 2 (January 21), containing overdubbed backing vocals (January 26).
\n19. Poor Man’s Gold<\/strong> – instrumental track (January 15).
\n20. Don’t Cry Daddy<\/strong> – Elvis’ vocal overdub to track (January 22) and Elvis’ two harmony vocal overdubs (January 24).
\n21. A Little Bit Of Green<\/strong> – with Elvis’ original take 3 vocals (January 15).
