Notes:

The listed sequence of tracks/songs recorded the night between June 28-29 may not be completely accurate, but this is the way the order is presented in Jorgensen's "A Life in Music" and there are very few flaws of similar nature in that book overall. Elvis arrived late and at least 2001 City by Night (track) had been recorded prior to his arriving. It may seem unlikely that the (unused) 2005 Long Legged Girl (track) would have been recorded after three live recordings with vocals since they had wasted studio time. Family circumstances may explain it though so the track order will be kept on this page until the session logs become accessible. (According to Tunzi's "Elvis Sessions II" all tracks had been recorded before Elvis arrived.)

The MGM session tapes were reported lost before BMG changed policy on the subject. BMG's 4-track tape must have been used as source for "Celluloid Rock" volume 2 and it is therefore likely that the alternate There Is So Much World to See (2003-10) never was on the tape turned over to RCA and only exists on acetate.
Update: Tape now acquired by BMG and released on the FTD CD "Silver Screen Stereo".
