Weird sounds in Elvis songs on records and CDs

[Mister Moon]

The 1985 "Rock And Roll - The Early Days" various artists compilation by BMG (the soundtrack to the video documentary with the same title) featured Elvis' 1954 master of "That's All Right" with a looped, faded-out, ending. Truly bizarre.

Who the heck did that ?

I don't think that "version" has been used again elsewhere.

In case you want to hear it, just PM me.

Only if it's in stereo.

On the intro to "How Can You Lose What You Never Had", after about 5 seconds, I've always heard what sounds like a dog yelping in the right-hand channel.

So, no one else has heard it, then ?

I'm pretty sure that's Elvis screaming off-mike.

Listening via speakers, there could well be a dog 'yelp' just there, but pretty much covered by the instruments.

i'd never noticed it before but just had a listen and it certainly qualifies as a weird noise

[ED209]

There are so many songs with errors in them.
Most annoying is when Elvis voice breaks or cracks and that happened a lot in masters and even more in outtakes.
As mentioned by others over the years the worst one is Stranger In The Crowd.

Would you point that out please, exactly where it happens?

I'm not sure who the others are who have mentioned it over the years, but I've never seen anyone mention it, apart from ED209 on the previous page.

The error that bothers me the most is in Stranger In The Crowd master at approx 1:28 and 2:58.
I dont know if the first is a mastering fault from 1970 or happened later….its like Elvis says ‘I’ twice at the
first one and at 2:58 Elvis voice just breaks and its very noticable.
Never noticed it. On what word?
I was able to fix both errors with audacity years ago.
Thinking of it there are many song masters that have Elvis voice breaks/cracks….I’ve lost you,Aint no big thing and
Im coming home comes to mind.
Also european cd version of Good Times album released in 1994 had a annoying click during Lovin’ Arms track.

Of the two the second one is definately the worst.
Its after the instrumental break and around 2:55 - 3:00 and it happens during when Elvis sings "I found the stranger I've been looking for"
He sings the same line and word earlier in the song and his voice is good there.
This kinda ruins the song for me a little but cant remember when I noticed it for the first time.

I've listened several times, and it sounds fine to me.

Wow,you dont hear it?
Not even if you compare with the same line earlier in the song as mentioned?
In that case you probably dont hear the first mistake either.

I can't hear anything wrong at the 2:58 point either, and the vocal inflection at 1:28 is definitely not a mistake - he just sings the line "a quarter to eleven" different than the first time, but within the musical rules, so to speak.

Sam Cooke would drive you nuts !
