elvis in bad nauheim, germany 1959

tracklist:

01 (piano)
03 apron strings
04 it's been so long darling
05 (chat + parody)
06 earth angel (intro)
09 i'll take you home again, kathleen (slow)
10 que sera, sera - hound dog
11 i asked the lord
12 i'll take you home again, kathleen (fast)
13 apron strings
15 at the hop
16 (gospelly piano)
17 que sera, sera - hound dog
18 send me some lovin'
23 i'm beginning to forget you (false start)

elvis recorded many tapes at home during his period
in the army. there are a number of tapes that crop
up more than once on the tapes ...

there are several 'slow' and 'fast' versions of
"i'll take you home again kathleen" ... the 'fast'
version here appears to be different to either of
the sources available (platinum set & a private moment).
similarly, there appears to be a further two alternate
versions of "apron strings" and another version of
"i asked the lord".

the unreleased false start of "i'm beginning to forget you" leads
directly into the version released on "a private moment".

there is no definite date although several sources agree that
they have to have been recorded around april 1959.



the complete list of material on the cd i own is as follows:

01 (piano)
02 i'll take you home again, kathleen (slow) APM
03 apron strings
04 it's been so long darling
05 (chat + parody)
06 earth angel (intro)
07 i will be true APM
08 there's no tomorrow APM
09 i'll take you home again, kathleen (slow)
10 que sera, sera - hound dog
11 i asked the lord
12 i'll take you home again, kathleen (fast)
13 apron strings
14 number eight APM
15 at the hop
16 (gospelly piano)
17 que sera, sera - hound dog
18 send me some lovin'
19 soldier boy GC
20 earth angel GC
21 danny boy GC
22 the fool GX
23 i'm beginning to forget you (false start)
24 i'm beginning to forget you APM
25 i asked the lord GC

28 i can't help it PLAT
29 the fool (minus part of intro) GC
30 mona lisa HR
31 my heart cries for you GC
32 dark moon GC
33 write to me from naples GC

the notes after the removed tracks refer fairly logically to the
the albums the versions came from (a private moment, golden celebration,
home recordings & platinum).

i got the material here on a cd which was labelled "elvis is here".
this is the tracklist for that release. it clearly pays no direct
resemblance to the cd in hand.

VIK LPM-1058-C
1 I'm Happy To Be Here (Interview 10/1/58)
2 Earth Angel
3 There's No Tommorow
4 Number Eight
5 I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen
6 I Will Be True
7 Danny Boy
8 I Asked The Lord
9 Send Me Some Loving
10 I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen
11 It's Been So Long Darling
12 Apron Strings
13 Farewell To Germany Interview

i have therefore not scanned the sleeve since it has little to do with
the contents. this therefore is my own compilation from that release.

each track ended with a small portion of the following one and hence
was rather irritating so i ripped the whole thing to wavs and laid them
end to end in cooledit, mixed them down to a single continuous wav and
edited the tracks from there. this helped also as a few of the tracks
starts were part way through the music and were thus 'repaired'.

lineage:
bootleg cd (very likely a bootleg of a bootleg with additional material) >
audiograbber wavs > cooledit editing as described above > cdwave tracksplitting >
dbpoweramp > flac > you
