[Colin B]

I've just received 'The Complete Movie Masters - 1960-62 - Plus Session Out-takes' a 4-CD Set [2024] from MRS.

Strange thing is, can't even recall ordering it !

I have ordered it, but haven't received it. Have you got mine?

Might have !

I've received it & paid for it, so it's mine now !

Beautifully presented in the form of a 138-page book.

Discs a tad awkward to get out.

With the exception of the Follow That Dream CD and vinyl EP, this is the first MRS release I've bought in about two and a half years. I haven't bought the live ones they've been issuing, although if you know where to look, you can download them.

Anyway, this is a fabulous release. It's heavy on photos throughout its 138 pages, but there are some great shots. I think there may be some I haven't seen before, but I can't be sure. I can't keep up with them.

The few mono to stereo tracks have been very well done and you'd think they were recorded in stereo as presented here. There is an error though in that there are 4 tracks in mono, which are available in stereo elsewhere. Careless?

It's meant to include Riding The Rainbow, M4 take 9. I can't yet make up my mind about this. The ending was used on the master spliced with MX4 take 7. However, the ending here sounds a little different to me with Elvis being a bit more forceful on the final "to where you are".

I'm not sure why the master of Mama isn't on here. After all, it was issued back on the original Girls Girls Girls LP.

Still, I think it's another top notch release from MRS.

That song, extended and modified, wasn't released until the 70s, it was never on the original Girls! Girls! Girls! LP

I also agree though, they've brought some mono tracks to superb stereo now, and they're great to hear

Thanks Keith.

So the original unextended one wasn't on the LP? I don't have it anymore and of course it was a long time ago. Funny how time plays tricks on your mind. When did we first get it?

Ah yes. I have the tin, but also the individual Double Features CDs, and the notes say:

[Colin B]

The song 'Mama' from the 'Girls ! Girls ! Girls !' film had an odd release history !

In the film itself the song is performed by The Amigos only.

On the original Elvis 1963 soundtrack album, it's omitted altogether.

We didn't get it on any official release until 1970 on the Let's Be Friends album.

That was a mix of Elvis' take 10 & a version by The Amigos.

We finally got The Amigos singing it alone in 2007 on the Girls ! Girls ! Girls ! CD [FTD 67].

There is an error though in that there are 4 tracks in mono, which are available in stereo elsewhere. Careless?

Which tracks would those be?

Disc 4. No More x 2, Slicin' Sand and Beach Boy Blues.

LFS is shown as “Late False Start.” Shouldn’t that be “Long False start”?
