Something I've never noticed before. This tape box has writing that seems to suggest "Angel" was rerecorded on July 5, 1961. This may be why it is available in true stereo, while the other tracks used in the film are only available in MONO.

I believe it relates to the tape speed the stereo transfer was made at, i.e., 7.5 ips.
The original session tapes were recorded at the higher quality 15 ips.

What I do find a bit curious is why only the two tracks that survived in stereo - "Angel" and "A Whistling Tune" - have their master take numbers annotated.

what does the term "stems" mean in this context please?
also, why are there songs missing from the film soundtracks you've worked on?

Basically, sub mixes of a larger mix, which are then [in this instance] broken down further into more precise individual audio elements.

To your last point, I only worked on those tracks that were furnished with notable film overdubs.

Fantastic!

Alternative takes, alternative artwork always brings out the geek in me.

The initials, the Danish flag. Are we to believe it's Mr. FTD himself?

Don't think so. Wasn't Ernst Joergensen writing that the stereo master of "Angel" only survived because it was cut directly from the session reel and spliced onto the master (mixed down mono) reel of the other (now mono) masters?

Yes, that is correct. The Stereo masters of "Angel" and "A Whistling Tune" (without whistling overdub) was spliced back onto one of the stereo session tapes. Not clear why this was done.

What a delight (as usual) !
Take for example King of the whole wide world, one of these terrific Elvis rockers from the early 60's. The way he belts out the chorus "come on and sing..." is out of this world. Although I love the way the song is overdubbed in the movie, I always regretted the somewhat tight mono sound and the lack of depth.
Till now. Sound is so much better here than in the movie. I say it again, it's a delight.
Thank you very much Elvisalisellers !
