Notes about the tracks:

Track 1:
The "single" master of "Doncha' Think It's Time" is spliced from takes 40, 47 and 48, while the album master is spliced from take 40 and 39' The "album" master of "Doncha' Think It's Time" can be distinguished from the "single" master, from the first chorus' On the 'Album' master Elvis sings "Kiss me honey teil me you're mine'''" but on the "single" master he sings "Love me honey teil me you're mine'''"

Tracks 2, 10, 13, 14 & 20:
All Sun recordings are digital transfers from the original sources (singles and 78rpm's)
You can hear the "dry" version of 'That's All Right' without echo'

Track 4:
"Kiss Me Quick" was released without backing vocals on the 1964 Spanish EP Viva Las Vegas (3-20820)' This was done by eliminating one of the stereo channels'

Track 5:
There are a couple of different edits in existence of this song' On the single and album versions there are six introductory bars while the original EP version (EPA-3419) has only two introductory bam' In all other respects though the version is exactly the same'

Track 8:
The single master is a composite of take 6 & work part 1- ending - take 2 while the album master is spliced from vocal overdub takes 6 & 5'

Track 6:
The originally released version was overdubbed and slowed down on March 18 1965 and can be found on the "Elvis For Everyone" album' The version of "Tomorrow Night" (PPA5 2671) that was released on the "Reconsider Baby" album and again on "The Sun Sessions" was an edited version of the original master where the solo was cut and a small part repeated' lt was spliced from 0:00-1:28, 1:49-1:54, 0:10-0:25 and 1:47-2:58 of the original version as released on this "Past Masters"'

Track 7:
"Suspicion" was released by mistake without backing vocals on the Italian single "Suspicion / (It's A) Long Lonely Highway" (PB-9121) in 1977, when RCA mistakenly eliminated one of the stereo channels when mixing to mono' The same happened long before on on the 1964 Spanish EP Viva Las Vegas (3-20820)'

Track 11:
A 2:10 minute extended master of "Tonight's All Right For Love" was released on the mono and stereo German pressings of the G'I' Blues album in 1960 (1st pressing only), and a German single in 1960 (47-9340) in mono' lt appears that alter a second pressing of the albern was done (in 1963?) they used the original length (1:18) master from then on'

Track 16:
The EP version was undubbed, without backing vocals' The overdubs for the LP version were done on June 19, 1958'
