[End] Notes. 1. The song "Flaming Star" would be the title track of ‘Elvis Sings Flaming Star’, available at first only through select retail stores featuring products by the Singer sewing machine company as a promotional tie-in with Presley's 1968 Christmas television special, which Singer had sponsored. This album would begin the series of Presley budget releases on the RCA Camden subsidiary label. 2. I believe that this version is much closer to the original song’s chords, which marry with the song’s tempo.
