Notes:

The original 2-track masters of the 6 songs used in the movie were released on LP in Australia, New Zealand and Argentina. Again, poor digital echo on vocals plagues the Double Features release. She's a Machine is the only song from this session that has been properly released on CD ("Flaming Star"/German club). The intro of I'll Take Love was cut on some of the original mono and 2-track releases and even on "Celluloid Rock".


The movie version of The Love Machine is actually a different take with the same arrangements in different order. For instance: "who's next in line" is sung an octave higher the first time in the movie version instad of the last time as on the record version. It is interesting that the officially listed sloppy alternate "take 11" on "Double Features" is completely different from both the record and the movie versions. Perhaps this is an early take after all (i.e. mentioned take 4 or edited/announced take 5).


The implied vocals recorded on the songs
Aches and Pains and Second Rate Street ('Elvis Sessions'/Tunzi) hardly refer to vocals by Elvis as his name is mentioned on the finished songs ("Elvis, Orch. and Jordanaires"), but not on these. A guess is that Aches and Pains (a.k.a. Go, Go, Jo) is the instrumental used in the movie right after the opening/title track. Other instrumental tracks used in the movie would fit with the listed tracks as well.
