Notes:

Since strings were overdubbed in the afternoon in Memphis, this means that both Al Pachucki and at least the Without Love master tape must have moved quickly from Memphis to Nashville. It would be interesting to learn how such trips were arranged.

The rough repair of the 'mock voice' part near the end of From a Jack to King includes the mix of all channels rather than just the vocal track and is therefore assumed to exist on the 2-track album master only. This is also thought to be the reason for omission on the remastered 'The Memphis Record'. The finished master does not exist on multitrack. Now in digital age this could be remastered and repaired much nicer, preserving the original performance by the band all the way.

Only 7 of the 9 listed members of the Memphis Horns were present on this session.
