The second disc of the set is dedicated to the sessions on May 26, 1963. As usual everything is sequenced in chronological order.

Take number one already works great. It even might have been released if Elvis hadn't laughed in-between. After a few bars the king asks the band to start again. The producer considers this to be an individual take, so the following complete performance is take three. The 4th attempt is stopped by Elvis, because he stumbles upon the timing at the beginning of the second verse. Now the musicians suddenly stop to play, whereupon the singer asks "What happened?". The next try fails right at the start, but jokingly Elvis starts to sing nevertheless. Take 7 is burried by the king, who once again asks "What happened?". The next try is another complete performance, this time the drumer plays a tad harder. I guess Elvis didn't like the effect, because he continues the session despite the flawlessness of his performance. Take number nine doesn't get old due to a mistake of the band. Finally the group delivers a performance, which the king approves for release.

The second song also doesn't challenge anyone. The first try still sounds a bit clumsy, but in general it's just about the details. Now the band fails to play the intro, but in contrast to the previous song the producer doesn't count the mistake as a separate take. The second try is successful and sounds pretty good. The drummer is playing a tad more nuanced, which turns out to be a major improvement. "Here we go!" says Elvis, but once again the intro doesn't work. This time the producer regards the glitch to be a separate take. However, the next false start doesn't get its own take number and the group continues. At first everything seems to work fine, but during the chorus Elvis stumbles upon the timing and ends the recording. Take number 5 is a complete performance, the same applies to the following try. Realizing that he cannot improve his performance anymore, Elvis selects take 6 to be the master.

The guitarist rehearses his part of the intro, then the producer announces "We're rolling". The band starts to play the intro, but Elvis stops them by saying "Don't make it so big". On the next try he starts to sing, but soon stops and mutters "No good". The producer considers these false starts to be take 1 and quickly announces the second one. Now everything works fine. The musicians know their parts and the timing between Elvis and The Jordanaires couldn't be any better. Unfortunately the king get the lyrics wrong and sings "You walk like an angel" instead of "You look like an angel". Jokingly he adds "You walk like a bird" and kids Freddy Bienstock. Take number 3 begins with a false start, because Elvis has to harrumph. The second try sounds very good and might have been selected for release, if the king wouldn't have laughed in-between. The 4th attempts is just a short false start, the 5th one is killed off by Elvis. Take number six also begins with a glitch, but the second try sounds nothing but great and is chosen for release.

In contrast to the title the recording session for "Never Ending" was a rather short one. The first try already sounds quite good, whereas the second one suddenly breaks down and Elvis asks "What went wrong?" and adds "I was enjoying the hell of myself". But he doesn't sounds as if he really means it, so I suspect he didn't like the tune too much. Take number three is another complete one and regarded to be good enough for release.

The next song is taped even faster, after a single take everything is said and done.

Here we have another quick one. All three takes are complete performances. The first sounds a tad labored, because everyone has to get used to the track. After the recording the arrangement is re-worked. The second take features The Jordanaires right from the start, the pianist also plays his part differently. In general the whole thing sounds better now and also gives a more relaxed impression. Obviously Elvis didn't like the new approach, because he returns to the original concept for take number three. However, the song is performed with more zest. The king is pleased and the track is approved for release.

Once again the first take already sounds great, the major difference to the master is the slower tempo. The second attempt is stopped by Elvis during the last part of the song when he asks "Can you pick it up a little, Bob? Just a little". That's what happens and the master (take 3) is in the can.

As expected the first try is a complete performace. Here and there Elvis sounds a bit reluctant and the band doesn't play as sophisticated as later on. But in general the ballad is under control right from the start. The next take is nothing but two false starts due to Floyd Cramer having trouble to get the intro right. The third take fails because Elvis sings somewhat imprecise. He finally says "No!" and clears his throat. Take number four is a complete, but a bit rocky performance. After having rehearsed the start of the song, the group accomplishes another complete rendition. It's better than the previous one, but the flow still is missing. Before another attempt is undertaken, the kings says "Build the Jordanaires a little bit more up on the part they're comin' in". Nevertheless it doesn't work, because Elvis appears to sing "flire" instead of "fire". Take 7 ends at the same spot, because now he sings the word quite reluctantly. The king clears his throat and starts another try. This time everything works smooth and fine, so another master is finalized. The first day of recordings is over.
