	Notes:		Issued in a gorgeous cardboard gatefold - superb picture selection , detailed liner notes, professional looking inlay work on the disc - top quality job ! The material defies rarity - this is a pretty much complete "relaxation" by a young soldier Elvis killing time in Germany. This is most likely part of the material "magically" located in Vernons office in a box of home recordings. Note that some songs were recorded in a later home recording session and formally released by BMG ("I'm Beginning To Forget You" , "Mona Lisa"). Apparently Elvis really liked these songs. "Take Me Home Again Kathleen" was one of Elvis' favorite songs to play on piano. "Apron Strings" is rumoured to have been performed live at the Louisiana Hayride , unfortunately no tapes have surfaced yet to bear this rumor out. Track 26 is an astonishing track that graphically illustrates the poor sound quality of the original tape , and the amazing job that the bootleggers performed in restoring the tape. The original tape was recorded on a personal tape recorder set up in the living room of Elvis' home in Bad Nauheim. Elvis used this device to fool around with new ideas for recording sessions to come later when he returned stateside in 1960 !
