There are two errors right here in the first two lines.

Elvis signed with RCA in November 1955 so 1976 would have been a 21 year association, and he was only 40 yrs old for the first seven days of 1976 so shouldn't that read he was 41?

Your right tony, how could they get this so wrong.

The booklet only indicates the one main take used in the “Outtakes” session implying that all the added banter and false starts beforehand were continuous.

Rather foolishly the back of the CD cover states that Elvis was 40 in 1976 (he was 41) and that it was his 20-year milestone with RCA (that was back in 1975). How did those errors slip through?

They spelled 'accommodate' correctly, what more do you want ?

Technically, when Elvis recorded at the Jungle Room in Feb 1976, it was still 20 years because he signed the RCA contract on November 1955.
