| A couple of errors can be found in the 'In and Outtakes' section of the accompanying booklet. Takes 11, 12 and 13 of "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here" (remake) are all listed as being just take 11. The matrix number of "Guadalajara" is listed as PPA3 4432 instead of PPA3 4433, when explaining the spliced masters in the notes. |
| On the 1st pressing "ELVIS" is written in grey on the spine, like on the front cover, but on the 2nd pressing it is written in black on the spine.
Also on the left-front panel "ELVIS" is changed to black. A different CD media was used. On the first pressing the white color is much brighter and new matrix numbers are used. Also the printed label on the inside cover is changed a bit. The barcode on the second pressing is wider. |
| Compare the differences between the 2 pressings: |
| There have been two regular pressings of this CD released by FTD in 2003,
the first in 2003 with "ELVIS" in grey and the second release in 2011 with "Elvis" in black on the spine. Then FTD released in 2019 the 3-CD 8" boxset. More than an hour of previously unreleased false starts, break downs, and complete takes! All tracks have been recently remixed and mastered from the original 3-track session tapes. |
