The Goin' Home sessions have been edtited quite a bit. A lot of the swearing has been cut out, both in-between takes but also most of the swearing when he is singing has been edited out.
The Prisoner's Song is present but only a 10 second snippet between takes 1 and 2 of U.S. Male.
The sound is great!

A shame.
Does this mean that many takes just fades out before the swearing part?

Between takes, it has simply been cut out. Not all swearing in the songs have been edited out, but definitely some of it. It was done at the mixing stage, so the takes continue, but the words are not heard.

Collectors might hear it and think Elvis was human!

I was so hoping they would not do that. It's so unnecessary, pure censorship. Why do that when it's on a collector's label, and why do that knowing that the people who will be listening to it are adults? It stinks.

That doesn't surprise me.

Agreed - the expletives are so fucking unnecessary...

If you read carefully through the thread, it's not just the prisoner song that got axed from the session tape.

I'm well aware of that, but my point still stands. The idea that everything that was recorded should be released is ridiculous. The sole purpose of these sessions was to create master takes. Listening to the works in progress can be fascinating, but nothing has been edited out here that's essential to the listening experience, and those that are bemoaning the edits already own the bootlegs...
