"IF YOU LISTEN CARFULLY TO THIS CD YOU WILL NOTICE A NUMBER OF WORD CHANGES THAT SHOW UP ON HERE AND NOT ON THE ALBUMS LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE OUTTAKES AND ENJOY THE GOLDEN VOICE AND SONGS NOT ON ANY CD AVAILABLE. AND AS A 35 YEAR COLLECTOR, I HAVE A FEW OF HIS RECORDINGS AND HIS FIRST SONG ON HERE IS NOT ANYWHERE TO BE FOUND"
Elvis like you've never heard!

"It's unlikely you've heard some of these rare, second/third take recordings before. These subtlely different recordings are a real treat! Also represented here is the seldom featured "Nashville" sound that Elvis so enjoyed."
One very amazing track...

"Most of the tracks on Volume 4 are better in their originally released versions, including the stuff that ended up on "Elvis Country" with overdubbed horns. Unlike Volume 5, which shows EP in a very loose and funky mood, the tracks here just sound...professional. The one exception is the undubbed "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with just Elvis, piano, bass, and drums. In this fan's opinion, this is the single greatest recorded moment of EP's entire career, and when he sings "I'm on your side", you'll know everthing the boy from tupelo was all about."
