The master of We're Gonna Move was spliced from take 9 (0:00-2:18) and take 4 (2:18-2:24). It's hard to identify the final chords (2:24-2:30) as being from any of takes 4 or 9. The spliced master runs almost 1.2% slower than take 9. |

The 'Love Me Tender' soundtrack needs to be released with upgraded sound. Even the so-called DSD masters (2003 Heart & Soul/Can't Help Falling in Love CD's etc.) are derived from the limited 1990's masters. The DCC 24 Karat Hits version is similar, but processed further to sweeten the hiss. |

Thanks to Henk Muller for providing
some detailed session information (probably first published in Graceland
magazine). |
