A comparison of the different versions of ‘I’m Movin’ On’ released, are shown above.<\/p>\n

The vocal repair on ‘I’m Movin’ On’ consists of the following:-
\n0:00-0:05 “That…”<\/em>
\n0:05-0:35 “…big eight-wheeler”<\/em> to “move on, baby”<\/em>
\n0:53-1:08 (*) replaced with alternate lyrics, (**):
\n(*) “That big bad whistle as he blew and blew”<\/em> to “Please listen to me let this rattler free and keep movin’ on. Move on son, move on.” <\/em>
\n(**) “Mr fireman won’t you please listen to me”<\/em> to “Please listen to me let this rattler free and keep movin’ on. Move on son, move on.” <\/em>
\n1:08-1:38 added, non-verbose “ta-ta”<\/em>
\n1:38-2:42 “I told you baby”<\/em> to end<\/p>\n

The re-recorded Guitar Man<\/em> (1980) \/ Too Much Monkey Business<\/em> (FTD) version of ‘I’m Movin’ On’ has the repaired vocal track only.<\/p>\n

There are no backup vocals present during Elvis’ vocal replacement on ‘I’m Movin’ On’ as heard on FTD’s From Elvis In Memphis<\/em> and American Sound 1969<\/em> releases, but they are present on The Memphis Record<\/em>. Also, backing vocals are heard on the unused composite as heard on the “Draft Mix Tape” but are not present on the alternate composite as heard on Suspicious Minds – The 1969 Anthology<\/em>. This was achieved by either turning on or off the “Vocal Group” track (track 3 of the 8-track tape).
\nTrack 1 = used for brass
\nTrack 2 = used for Elvis’ original vocal
\nTrack 3 = used for vocal group
\nTrack 4 = used for steel
\nTrack 5 = used for bass
\nTrack 6 = used for drums, piano & guitar
\nTrack 7 = used for Elvis’ re-recorded vocal
\nTrack 8 = used for lead bass<\/p>\n

\n

RCA’s official session logs incorrectly list the session times of some songs recorded:-
\n‘Hey Jude’ is listed as being recorded (22nd) 1.00am – 4.00am instead of (21st) 8.00pm – 11.00pm
\n‘From A Jack To A King’ is listed as being recorded (21st) 8.00pm – 11.00pm instead of (22nd) 1.00am – 4.00am <\/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).
\n22. You’ll Think Of Me<\/strong> – take 23 rhythm track with Elvis’ replaced vocals (January 24).<\/p>\n

Part of Take 1 (0:55 – 1:55 & 2:55 – 4:15) of ‘Hey Jude’ is spliced with Take 5 on FTD’s Memphis Sessions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

‘Hey Jude’ is listed as “Track Only” in the session logs. It’s possible that Elvis’ vocals were not considered good enough for release at the time this song was recorded, although overdubs were still added to the song. This would explain why ‘Hey Jude’ was not released with the rest of the songs from these sessions, in 1969, but was eventually released in 1972 on the album Elvis Now<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sessions III <\/em>lists ‘My Little Friend’<\/a> as having backup vocals overdubbed on January 23, but the session log shows that as of February 4 (date of the Jjob number<\/a>) no backup vocals had been overdubbed. You can just about hear the backing singers during the guitar intro on the U.S. Male<\/em> CD and the Almost In Love<\/em> LP, as well as releases after 2007 (The Complete Masters<\/em> etc.). They do not appear on any 1990s releases. According to Mary Holladay Pederson’s logbook, ‘My Little Friend’ had backup vocals overdubbed on March 20<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remixed versions of ‘Mama Liked The Roses’, ‘Long Black Limousine’ and ‘Don’t Cry Daddy’ can be found on The Memphis Record<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The instrumental track for ‘Poor Man’s Gold’ can be heard after the last track (‘Kentucky Rain’) on the bootleg Finding The Way Home<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The bell intro of ‘Mama Liked The Roses’ was re-recorded and replaced on March 18 1969 (evening). Final backup vocal overdub for single release was done by Sandy Posey (Sandra P. Robinson) in Nashville on March 31 1970.<\/p>\n

Piano player Bobby Wood and guitar player Reggie Young are listed as having been included on overdubs of ‘Long Black Limousine’, but not ‘Wearin’ That Loved On Look’ on January 22. A comparison with the undubbed session implies that it is rather the other way around with Reggie Young, as an overdubbed guitar can be identified on ‘Wearin’ That Loved On Look’, but not on ‘Long Black Limousine’. Apart from that, an overdubbed ‘bell’ is actually heard during the intro of ‘Long Black Limousine’ (double effect on piano notes). This is similar to the overdubbed bell sound on ‘Mama Liked The Roses’. The bell instrument is not easily identified, but could be an electric piano, which in that case would confirm the Bobby Wood overdub information at least.<\/p>\n

Finally, no brass at all can be identified on ‘Wearin’ That Loved On Look’.<\/p>\n

The single version of ‘My Little Friend’ is remixed when compared to the album version.<\/p>\n

Takes 1, 2 and 3 of ‘From A Jack To A King’ on FTD’s Memphis Sessions<\/em> are presented in the wrong order – It is actually Takes 2, 1 and 3.<\/p>\n

‘From A Jack To A King’ is spliced to take out Elvis’ mock voice (“You made-a me king of your heart<\/em>” 2:04 – 2:07) and is replaced from the same line used earlier in the same take (“You made me king of your heart”<\/em> 1:16 – 1:19). The “mock” part was replaced on the multi-track tape so this has been re-inserted on the left channel when the undubbed\/unfinished master was used on FTD’s classic album release of Back In Memphis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

By taking out two of the four channels from the rare Japanese Quadraphonic LP of From Elvis In Memphis<\/em> is how the “previously unreleased versions” were created on the bootleg The Other Side Of Memphis<\/em> (Bilko).<\/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<\/em> releases, the 30 disc Complete Elvis Presley Masters<\/em> collection and the Franklin Mint<\/em> package.<\/p>\n
