1. Mystery Train/Tiger Man (Instrumental) - This is similar in style to the warm up "I Didn't Make It On Playing Guitar" from the "Essential Elvis Volume 4" album. Elvis is off mike and can only be heard very faintly at the beginning. It's worth the inclusion on the disc though for some great guitar playing by James Burton.
2. Twenty Days And Twenty Nights - Take 2 - A slightly slower version than the released master. This being an early take Elvis seems to be finding his way around the song. Charlie sings harmony and it sounds similar to the version heard in the TTWII SE rehearsal.
3. I've Lost You  - Take 1 - Another early takes with slightly different phrasing from the master take. This is a good performance from Elvis although it does get a little muddled at the end.
4. The Sound Of Your Cry - Take 3 - Elvis starts this version in a higher key, and his vocal style during the early part of the song is almost reminiscent of one his recordings from the early 60's. The later part is more
like the released version with a long repeated ending. Elvis seems to be enjoying this one.
5. Bridge Over Troubled Water - Take 1 - This one of the highlights and a great performance for the first take. The fact that Elvis sang a further seven takes before nailing the master is proof of his commitment at this stage of his career.
6. How The Web Was Woven - Take 1 - The first track to include some pre song chat, which concerns the guitar sound at the start of the song. Again, a strong performance for the first take.
7. The Next Step Is Love - Take 10 - Take 6 of this song was recently issued on the "Today, Tomorrow, and Forever" set, and in my opinion this later take is stronger, and as you would expect is much closer to the master, which was take 11.
8. I'll Never Know - Take 1 - Another reasonably strong first take which has a slightly looser feel than the master take. This ends in laughter, and Elvis' comments are not censored.

9. Life - Take 10- We've just had take 2 on the "Today, Tomorrow, and Forever" set, and there isn't much to choose between these two alternate takes and the master which was actually take 20. I don't know why Elvis felt the need to run through another ten takes of this one, as in my opinion he already had it finished. James Burton's picking is much more audible on the undubbed versions.

10. Love Letters - Take 1 - An informal performance, which sounds more like a rehearsal. Elvis starts at the "I memorize every line" verse. The organ is more prominent on this take.

11. Heart Of Rome - Take 1 - Elvis seems to be getting used to the song and the phrasing here, but it sounds like he's having fun. At one point he sings "I'll take a wish" rather than "make a wish" and for a moment I thought he was going to use the same lyric change that featured on the RCA rehearsal version from the following month.
12. Mary In The Morning - Take 4 - The master was take five, so as you would expect this version is very close vocally. There's a nice harmonica or harp sound on this take which isn't as prominent on the master. A good alternate version.
13. Sylvia - Take 9 - The master was the earlier take 8, and whilst both versions are very similar, I think the phrasing was slightly better on the master take.
14. It's Your Baby, You Rock It - Take 3- Elvis finished this one in five takes and whilst this version is similar to the master the vocal phrasing isn't quite as polished. Great guitar playing from James Burton including a slightly different solo.
15. It Ain't No Big Thing - Take 6 - I found this one similar to the master, and thought there was nothing striking to differentiate between this version and the released take 9.

16. A Hundred Years From Now - Takes 1 & 2 - The first version is more informal from what we have heard previously and features an amusing lyric change from Elvis. Take 2 was first included on the "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" bootleg and the same dialogue is included on this release, uncensored by BMG.
17. Tomorrow Never Comes - Take 2 - A strong vocal performance from Elvis, which is not too far away from the spliced master take.
18. Snowbird - Take 1- Very similar to the previously released undubbed master, but as you would expect not quite as polished.
19. Rags To Riches - Take 2- Again this is a strong vocal although the phrasing is slightly different from the master, and this take is also a little slower. Elvis makes reference to this at the end of the song, "too
slow fellas".
20. Where Did They Go Lord - Take 3 - another strong vocal from Elvis. This one was finished in six takes and during this version it is already coming together.

In summing up, I thought this was a good release from FTD, and a reasonably strong collection of songs considering we have already had one CD of out takes from these sessions. As some of the better-known titles are missing from this disc it seems possible that we may hear more from these sessions on future BMG releases.
