Publicity stated: Volume four in this series is something special, since it also has three tracks from 1964. Elvis was 28 years old when he recorded all the other tracks.
This CD features amazing new splices, created for your listening pleasure. Highlights include a five minute plus version of ‘Bossa Nova Baby’, an new version of ‘If You Think I Don't Need You’ which was spliced eight times, a beautiful remade version of ‘Love Me Tonight’ which sounds a lot different without The Jordanaires and a nice version of ‘Ask Me’ which uses both the 1963 and 1964 versions. As always, most songs have been extended using different takes.
