The first two compact discs are representing the sessions in a more or less chronological order. To return to the introduction of this review, tap on the cover.

On June 4, 1970 the band warms up and plays around with Junior Parker's "Mystery Train". This sequence is known from FTD's "The Nashville Marathon", released in 2002.

After "Mystery Train" the band played another jam, this time a medley of "Mystery Train" and "Tiger Man". But because Ernst Jorgensen wanted to start every disc with a jam, the second one is featured on compact disc number 3. So we jump to "Twenty Days And Twenty Nights". The 9th and final take was selected for post-production. The undoctored version was first released in 2008 on FTD's classic album edition of "That's The Way It Is".

Take number seven was chosen as master take. This set offers the complete take without overdubbs (the released version was shortened), which had stayed in the vaults since 1970.

Basically this is a jam, which was edited for release. Here we get the complete recording, which is known from the boxed set "Walk A Mile In My Shoes - The Essential 70s Masters" (1995).

The complete master take (it was Elvis' 11th attempt to record the song) was previously unreleased, so we get to hear something new.

After "The Sound Of Your Cry" the king and his crew tried to tape "Faded Love", but they moved on because the lyrics were not available. This sequence is offered to us on the 4th disc of this set. The selection of master takes continues with "The Fool", which Elvis recorded in just two takes. Once again "From Elvis In Nashville" is the first Sony release to feature the complete, undubbed master take.

This jam is known from the boxed set "Walk A Mile In My Shoes - The Essential 70s Masters" (1995) and the classic album edition of "Elvis Country - I'm 10,000 Years Old" (2008).

Even though this one sounds like a jam, Elvis recorded two takes of the classic and had the second one enhanced with a country fiddle and a banjo. "From Elvis In Nashville" features the undubbed recording, which wasn't available from Sony before. 

Elvis ended the session with three takes of "Cindy, Cindy".  The pure master take was released for the first time in 2008 on the classic album edition of "Love Letters From Elvis".

The first song the king recorded on June 5, 1970 was "Bridge Over Troubled Water", the recent hit of Simon & Garfunkel. Elvis taped eight takes, on June 9th further instruments were added, on June 22nd Felton Jarvis recorded harmony vocals. The following day the king decided to re-record his part and also added harmony vocals for the 3rd verse. On June 30th and October 1st additional instruments and voices were added. The remix offers the music of the master take, as taped on June 5, 1970. But instead of Elvis' original vocals it uses the re-recording from June 23rd. The result sounds absolutely stunning!

According to RCA's numbering we should get to hear the medley of "Got My Mojo Working" and "Keep Your Hands Off Of It". Back in 1970 it was labeled "ZPA1601" while "How The Web Was Woven" was labeld "ZPA1602". However, "From Elvis In Nashville" continues with take 3 of the last mentioned song. It first was released on the compact disc, FTD included in their book "Taking Care Of Business In A Flash" (2016). Now we get a remix, which also features some additional studio talk.

This one is a jam, but Felton Jarvis realized its potential and quickly started the recording equipment. Before the medley could be released, several elements had to be removed and instruments and harmony vocals had to be added. Here we get the jam as it was recorded in the studio. It was released for the first time in 2008 on the classic album edition of "Love Letters From Elvis".

Elvis needed five takes to record this song, the final attempt was shortened and enhanced for release. This set offers the complete and undubbed master take, which had stayed in the vaults ever since 1970.

The same applies to this track, it's another premiere. Here Elvis tried nine times.

The undubbed master take of "I'll Never Know" was also unreleased. By the way: It was the king's 7th attempt.

The unedited and undubbed take 5 had also been in the vaults for half a century before it finally was released on this boxed set.

On June 6th Elvis and his band also started the session with a jam, but Ernst Jorgensen decided to put it on the 4th disc of this set. The first regular song of the day was the country ballad "It Ain't No Big Thing". Take number 9 became the master, the undoctored version was released here for the first time.

The same applies here. Even though "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" appears to be more difficult to sing than "It Ain't No Big Thing", Elvis needed just a third of the attempts to get it right.

The country ballad was also recorded within three takes and the unedited master take was also released here for the very first time.

Elvis needed 11 attempts to record "This Is Our Dance". The master take was first released in 2008 on the classic album edition of "Love Letters From Elvis".

At this point the king's concentration seemed to suffer, because he had to try 20 times to get a proper performance "Life" on tape. "From Elvis In Nashville" was the first Sony release to feature the unedited master take.

To end the session as quickly as possible, "Heart Of Rome" became a rush job. Elvis recorded three takes and a separate workpart-take of the song's finale. This remix was made of take 3 plus the work-part take.
