*1) An acetate of take 2 of "A Little Less Conversation" (with repaired ending) appeared on "Memories - The '68 Comeback Special" (07863-67612-2) in 1998,
as at that time it was thought to have been recorded in June 1968 for the NBC-TV Speial.
It was this vocal track that was used by JXL in 2002 when the remixed "A Little Less Conversation"
(with new backing) unexpected became a massive hit all over the world. |
| |
| *2) Elvis first tried recording "Almost In Love" live with the band on March 7, but after six takes and only one complete take (2005 take 6 - listed as take 7 on paper work)
they decided to record a backing track for Elvis to overdub his vocal to later. |
| |
| *3) Two different rhythm track were recorded for "Almost In Love" , a "low-key" track (2006 take 4) and a "high-key" track (2007 take 2). |
| |
| *) Production 2010 was Elvis' first vocal overdub for "Almost In Love" on March 11 and take numbering continued from take 8 onwards,
where production 2005 finished off. After four complete takes using the "low-key" rhythm track, take 10 was deemed to be the movie master, but was eventually not used at all. |
| |
| *4) The "high-key" track was used next, but after four unsuccessful takes (2011 take 4), and Elvis struggling with the high key, this was abondoned. |
| |
| *5) Then they tried the "low-key" track again, this time recording a successful master vocal (2012 take 3). |
