Nineteen Sixty Five Studio Sessions - 1 (Elvis One)° |

The definitive release of these sessions, can be found on Follow That Dream's limited edition The Paradise, Hawaiian Style Sessions 3xCD set, where everything has been mixed and remastered from scratch, and all masters and outtakes are presented in the best possible sound.
The sources Paradise, Hawaiian Style Sessions 1 & 2 refer to the bootleg CDs TCB 96301 & 96302. These were previously issued on 3 LP's that weren't verified, but assumed to be mastered from an identical source (X generation cassette with high-end loss, noise and speed/pitch between 2-6% too fast).
The movie version of 'House Of Sand' is
an edited composite of instrumental tracks HO-07, H1O-02 (guitar solo), H2O-02 (guitar solo)
and vocal overdubs H1V-07 (intro - "a house of
sand..."), H2V-01 (intro - "is an empty work of
art") and HOV-01.
The takes of 'A Dog's Life' and 'Datin' on Elvis Aron Presley have the left and
right channels reversed.
On Elvis Aron Presley the takes of 'A Dog's
Life' were issued with the matrix number KPA5
9562 and the composite takes of 'Datin' were
issued with the matrix number KPA5 9560.
'Queenie Wahine's Papaya' is a composite
of:
0:00-0:05: J1V-02 ("She sells sea shells...")
0:05-1:36: JOV-06 ("but I know...")
RCA do not have the stereo session tape for the first two takes of 'Queenie Wahine's Papaya' so they have used the mono tape for this part of the session on Follow That Dream's limited edition The Paradise, Hawaiian Style Sessions 3xCD set.
The movie versions of 'House Of Sand' and 'Datin' on the Elvis One releases Nineteen Sixty Five Studio Sessions - Part 1 (The Bootleg Series Vol. 18) and From Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, California - Part 3 (The Bootleg Series Vol. 36), and Queenie Wahine's Papaya' on the Elvis One release Nineteen Sixty Five Studio Sessions - Part 2 (The Bootleg Series Vol. 19), all appear to be lifted from the Blu-Ray release of Paradise, Hawaiian Style, where the "Score" can be found on a separate track of the Blu-Ray disc, and some of it without talking etc, which can be heard in the soundtrack of the movie. Nineteen Sixty Five Studio Sessions - Part 1 (The Bootleg Series Vol. 18) also contains some of the "Score" music, although as of now it is unknown what the actual titles are, or when the "Score" was recorded.
Take 5 of 'Queenie Wahine's Papaya' on FTD's Paradise, Hawaiian Style extended soundtrack has dialogue
from another take edited in at the end.
'Paradise, Hawaiian Style' is spliced from
takes 4 & 3:
0:00 - 0:28: GOV-04 ("Hawaii USA" to "...comin' your way")
0:28 - 0:40: GOV-03 ("Aloha, Hawaii USA" to "Gee it's great")
0:40 - 1:32: GOV-04 ("...to be in that fiftieth state" to "...comin' your way")
1:32 - 2:37: GOV-03 ("Aloha, Hawaii USA" to end)
In March of 2007, Sony decided to go through all of Elvis' masters. They retransferred everything and remastered all tracks including repairing as many clicks, pops, bad edits and dropouts as they could. They have used these newly mastered recordings on their new releases since 2007 including budget soundtracks, Legacy releases, the 30 disc Complete Elvis Presley Masters collection and the Franklin Mint package.
Thanks to Rudolf Stiller for identifying the splices on the master of 'Paradise, Hawaiian Style'.
Thanks to Josee Brus for help with identifying
the one-liners sung during these sessions.
