Notes:

The sound quality of vocals and vocal presence on the original 2-channel LP-mixes are perhaps not as good as on most soundtracks albums, although the added distortion probably was an intentional effect that, subjectively, works well on the title track at least. 

Alternate mixes from a rejected version of some of the RCA 'Speedway' album master can be found on the Pair Double Features CD 'Speedway+Clambake'.

BMG's Double Features remix from 4-track has the usual amount of digital echo.
