Here's a file where I've lifted the volume so you can hear better what your trying to pick out.

And now here's the comparison (at the same level) of both versions, the MRS remaster being the second.... no blip now.

True,on the mrs remaster both words sounds organic (sung at the same time in the same take) and fluid into each other -compared to the previous version, where the "heeeehhh you" sounds "flown in" (like a splice or a "punch in" repair like they did on "it is so strange", so either they did spliced in 1957 two takes like Keith lists now or they originally made a "punch in" vocal repair on the master tape without necessarily a splice of a another take or even a work part. Could that be?).
This is a very interesting discussion. Thank you.
I must confess I have never noticed anything weird regarding the ending of "Loving You", and I have good ears for such things. I did always notice that, for example, the endings of "Too Much" and "Paralyzed" were spliced portions, even before I read about it. And I was the first one to notice that repair on the master take of "Is It So Strange", which honestly makes me very proud, because it is one of my all-time favourite recordings by Elvis.
But I grew up - late 70s, early 80s - listening to Electronically Reprocessed Stereo albums and, to be honest, anything that doesn't have that artificial echo, and Elvis duetting with himself sounds great to me.
And I still would like to know what "restored to their original sound quality" means on those MRS releases...
