Sound quality here is again a disappointment compared to the edition. There is more noticeable hiss at the beginning of this track than there is on the track. Otherwise, sound quality is about the same. This rehearsal and take were previously released on The Nashville Marathon.

The rehearsal is about a minute longer here, though, which is quite welcome. Take 1 is as good as, possibly even better than, the master. Sound quality is the same as The Nashville Marathon. I wonder what happened to Take 2? I'd like to hear it, assuming it wasn't just a blown opening or something else extremely short. Compared to the excellent studio version, this live version from the original album just feels like a throwaway though you won't think that if watching Elvis perform it in the film.

Oddly, my main CD player cuts off the first split-second of this track when playing straight through from track 3 to track 4. If moving directly to track 4, it works fine. It played okay on another CD player, so no points off for this. Sound quality is slightly crisper on the release, though.

The Way It Is

The mix is slightly different as well I don't have the 45 RPM of this song, unfortunately, so no way for me to determine which, if either, mix is 'correct'. The song also goes about 15 seconds longer than the release before fading. Crank this one up! This is a previously unreleased take. The 'Patch It Up' song itself is actually rather insignificant, yet you hear through this and subsequent takes that Elvis could take a mediocre song like this one and turn it into something special.

More previously unreleased takes, all of which are blown or cut short. This is that 'fly-on-the-wall' aspect that makes this kind of release so appealing.

You can hear Elvis putting this song together, improving it little-by-little until he gets an acceptable master take. Elvis literally curses out the song on the seventh take. The very next take would be the master. Sound quality here is slightly better, though. Not a bad performance, but the master was appropriately chosen. This is a pretty, if forgettable, love song from the original album. As noted for previous master tracks, sound quality was better on the release, particularly at the beginning of the track.

Are the master recordings aging poorly? That's a scary thought. I'm hoping the problem is a technical glitch or even a strange mixing choice. Two previously unreleased blown takes, followed by takes 3 and 4, which were first released on The Nashville Marathon. Like 'Patch It Up', the appeal is the illusion of being in the studio while Elvis and gang work through the song.

It just keeps going and going. Tygrrius in the morning would fall back asleep if he had to listen to this song.

That's the Way It Is

Sound quality on takes 3 and 4 is slightly better than The Nashville Marathon. I hate to sound like a broken record, but once again the edition of this song from the original album beats the edition. Play them back to back, as I did, and you will hear more power in the edition. The edition knocks you back in your seat with, 'When I said. This previously unreleased track is presumably edited together from a number of rehearsals. The editing here is nearly seamless, a fine job. Great to hear Elvis' producer Felton Jarvis say enthusiastically at the end, 'Bravo!

That's a gas, man! Take 1 is a short, previously unreleased flub. Sound quality on this version is much improved. This live performance from the original version of the album is the definitive version of this song, by Elvis or anyone else. This is Elvis at his best, on stage doing what he loved the most. Sadly, this edition of the track also features the mysterious hiss issue. The version is superior. Incidentally, also released on that CD set as a separate track was an even longer version of the same performance of this song. Elvis does a fantastic reprise and the track time runs about two minutes longer.

While I love this live version of 'I've Lost You', one of the original album tracks and certainly a highlight, I prefer the studio version because the lyrics and the arrangement are more complicated. That being said, this is still a great version. This track suffers from the hiss issue, compared to the edition. This is another absolute favorite for me. Sure, this wasn't on the original album, but this single did serve to promote that album. Just close your eyes and listen. During the previously unreleased rehearsal, Elvis complains about the number of words in the song.

This is likely why it was simplified for the live version. Take 1 originally appeared on The Nashville Marathon , with similar sound quality. It's a quiet take, with more deliberate phrasing - probably because he's reading the lyric sheet. The previously unreleased takes 4 and 5 are cancelled before Elvis even sings a note.

Take 6, which is an improvement over Take 1 but not as good as the master on Take 7, was previously released on A Hundred Years From Now. Sound quality here is slightly better. How much Elvis greatness can one man take? This is another favorite, an impressive performance from the original album that only Elvis could deliver. Once again, though, you'll want the edition over this track, for this version contains annoying hiss. Take 1 is previously unreleased. You guessed it, though, it's just a false start. It barely starts at all, actually. Sound quality is better on this release, though.

This is yet another great song, one of the best on the original album. Now do you see why I love this album so much? Once again, the release sounds better than this one, though. Finally, some outtakes of this song! All of these are previously unreleased. Take 5 is nearly complete, but Elvis blows it near the end. This previously unreleased rough mix runs about 45 seconds longer than the final version. This has a slightly different mix, with horns a bit lower. Nice to have as an alternate listening experience.

Here's one studio song, from the original album, where I actually prefer the live version. The song is a little hokey either way, but the studio arrangement, complete with xylophone?

Stick to the version on this song, too, by the way. The interesting thing about this previously unreleased rehearsal is that you can hear the song's demo record playing in the background. The previously unreleased Take 2 and Take 3 are quick flubs. Take 6 was previously released on the Elvis: Funny, this set wins on most of the outtakes and loses on most of the master takes. Well, you know the pattern by now. Three previously unreleased blown takes, followed by one previously released, complete take. The Nashville Marathon included Take 10, with similar sound quality. This is actually a nice take of the song.

I would have given up 'Tiger Man' or one of the other unrelated songs to have this. As for this original version from the album, it's really not one I ever listen to, once the studio version proper was released. It doesn't do justice to his performance. Just for fun, though, I checked this version against the version. Yes, there's extra hiss here. My question is, why didn't FTD place an unreleased live version here instead? Just when I thought I was tired of hearing this song, this take came on.

This was also on The Nashville Marathon with similar sound.

The previously unreleased rehearsal is interesting, for it features a much faster take on the song. Too bad they apparently didn't try a whole take like this! Take 2 is previously unreleased and really stops before it even starts. The sound on this version is far superior. Special Edition set. This features Elvis on electric guitar, not to be missed. Another great live track. Strangely, this FTD track is the censored version. In any event, this is Elvis' best version of this Beatles classic released thus far.

Elvis can be heard off-microphone singing 'Tiger Man' but not 'Mystery Train', as far as I can tell, so perhaps that's the reason. However, the guitar opening of the jam itself sounds suspiciously like 'Mystery Train'. In concert, Elvis normally performed these two songs together, as a medley. His and live versions of this coupling are fantastic. So, there you have it, kind of a mixed bag as far as sound quality. Most of the alternate takes have as good or better sound quality than previous releases. I'm not sure why most of the master takes have the extra hiss, which does not seem to add to or otherwise improve the sound but, rather, has the opposite result.

Without headphones, though, you will not likely notice the difference. Most people who will buy this kind of album likely already have the edition anyway, though. Due to the content on Discs 2 and 3 of the edition, it's not like you would toss that one out in favor of this one anyway. The cover replicates the cover from the original album. The 7" size aspect offers the advantage of allowing the art to look that much closer to the original record album - something hard to accomplish on a standard-sized jewel case.

This is a nice touch, but just remember not to use the song list on them, as they are representative of the release and not this edition. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
