"On a happier note, if should be noted that the "Alison" single has an unlisted third track, the (in) famous U.S. single mix of "Alison." It features added synth-strings and other incongruous elements that Elvis himself has repeatedly disavowed!" | "On a happier note, if should be noted that the "Alison" single has an unlisted third track, the (in) famous U.S. single mix of "Alison."

To ascertain how these accidents happened, we contacted Val Jennings of Demon/Edsel in the U.K., the point man at the label for this project. Jennings confirms for ICE the obvious, that the wrong masters were pulled for those two tracks. The upside for collectors, of course, is the acquisition of two new Costello outtakes, which had never been heard before. "They're not so hugely different as to be headline news," Jennings surmises, "but they're still two previously unreleased tracks, which is a plus side." | To ascertain how these accidents happened, we contacted Val Jennings of Demon/Edsel in the U.K., the point man at the label for this project.

Jennings did not say the set would be corrected and re-pressed; labels usually wait to see how well a release of this nature sells before deciding on second runs. But the possibility of compiling one more disc gathering the rest of Elvis's odds & ends — including the two versions that should have been on the Singles boxes — is a very real one. | Jennings did not say the set would be corrected and re-pressed; labels usually wait to see how well a release of this nature sells before deciding on second runs.

"One of the many European fanzines made much in their review that we missed the opportunity to include that track — even though we include a picture of the Columbia label. I can't be bothered to write to him and say, 'Maybe you should try actually listening to the record [laughter]." | "One of the many European fanzines made much in their review that we missed the opportunity to include that track — even though we include a picture of the Columbia label.

Jennings added an anecdote about the packaging: "Volume one includes the single sleeve for "Accidents Will Happen" in its original form, as it was released in the U.K., where the [sleeve] was actually made up inside-out [graphics on the inside, plain white paper on the outside]. As a result, I've been waiting for a flood of calls — in fact, I've been waiting for a call from ICE — with people saying, "Oh, this is wrong." But so far I've only had two calls, one from the printer in England and one from a guy in Vienna... neither of whom got the joke. | Jennings added an anecdote about the packaging: "Volume one includes the single sleeve for "Accidents Will Happen" in its original form, as it was released in the U.K., where the [sleeve] was actually made up inside-out [graphics on the inside, plain white paper on the outside].
