Tracks 4 - 18 , 26 - 28 is comprised of material lifted directly from other bootlegs , mainly the now defunct (but nonetheless brilliant) "There's always me" (TAM) series. It features the same take numbers , same sound quality, same pauses.
Track 4 ("It's now or never") seems to be the RCA Master , as no outtakes seem to exist at all , although it might be the undubbed version (it does omit a few secs. in the intro).
Tracks 1 - 3 , 23 -25 do feature the *complete* "Little Sister" session, in first generation master tape quality ! The sound quality is far superior to the parts that have already been released from this session on TAM and other CD's.
The disc contains "Little Sister" Takes 1 - 11 , the master take 4 is actually omitted. As collectors might know Take 4 also did have a false start , which is included here. Apart from the previously unreleased Takes 7 - 8 we are also treated here with Takes 10 - 11.
Then we move on to another hidden pearl: Tracks 19 - 22 of "Alternate Golden Hits Volume 3" feature the entire second half of the "Can't help falling in love" session (Takes 13 - 28). Again , in superb studio quality (beautiful stereo ), directly from the master tape.
These takes were first released in the 80's on the TCB LP's "The Complete Blue Hawaii Sessions", however the LP presented Takes 13 - 29 of "Can't help falling in love" in MONO only !
