Rhino reissue gaps

The purpose of this page is to answer the following question: If I own all of the Rhino reissues, plus the standard versions of all subsequent albums, what other songs do I need to own to have an absolutely complete collection of songs (including different versions of the same song)?

The list excludes: edit versions, trivial remixes, songs available only on video or DVD, and tracks on which Elvis only appears as a guest instrumentalist or backing vocalist.

OS = original source; CS = current source (if it is currently available on a more recent source); R = major remix; r = minor remix
