The first attempt NOT included.

Keith's site notes this, and it's on the bootleg.

There is a short FS, then a long false start. The short one was edited off.

Not a big deal, but I was just making a point.

In the future I am going to begin being much more vocal in the presentation of these very expensive sets.

I will buy this.
Didn't bought the BH set.
I decided that my old 2 FTD is enough. And there is no sound upgrade since then.
Back then I didn't bought the 2 FTD set with this material, the guitar man session etc., so I will gladly buy this new set.

This will be great.
Best FTD release in many years.

Does anyone know what track 18 on disc 5 is? Has this ever come out before? What is with the tilde and the number 2 following the word instrumental in parenthesis?

It seems to be the instrumental overdub of Take N2, see: https://www.keithflynn.com/recording-se ... 20.html#02

I sure hope that Ernst doesn't mangle this release by censoring it. Elvis was in good form during these sessions, but he and Jerry Reed were certainly on something during the January 1967 sessions. There's a huge amount of bad and also inappropriate language, but it's funny. Jerry even says "these pills wearing off".

Hi I'm new on this site I will be getting this guitar man set

So it's basically the instrumental and backing vocal overdubs isolated from the home recording. Is that correct?

I suppose so, we'll know exactly when the set is released...

I will come out of my FTD hiatus to buy this one

Issues of song inclusion and cover art aside, this surely seems to be a great addition to the complete session sets.

Yes, it's one I'm really looking forward to, as long as they don't censor it.

Release late next month so july is more likely

I don't know why they don't package these things ready for shipping, and then announce it a couple of weeks in advance.

Agree,best is to know about a release just a few weeks before release date.
I think it was recent On Tour that was announced 4-5 months before actual release date and that is something I dislike.
Its a small thing in the big picture but the waiting can be hard sometimes
