With 'Blue Moon', one of the first true discographical dilemmas arrives. The sticker on the label reads 'Wednesday Night, 8/19', but August 19 1954 was a Thursday. Perhaps Sam Phillips was simply re-using tape and the sticker refers to another session by a totally different performer from 1953, when August 19 was a Wendesday. It's also possible that 'Blue Moon' was recorded at the next session, since it seems more than odd that Elvis' second full SUN session should have focused on a single song with virtually no commercial potential.

The masters of 'Tomorrow Night' and 'I'll Never Let You Go' were found on the same RCA tape copy, made in 1956, meaning that both are likely to have been copied from Sun box 7. These are usually believed to have been recorded in September, 1954, but Lee Cotten's assumption based on aural evidence seems more likely. Cotten writes in the second edition of the book 'All Shook Up-Elvis Day By Day' from 1998, that these three songs share the same tape delay echo that are not found on other recordings at this time.The version of 'Tomorrow Night' (PPA5 2671) that was released on the 'Reconsider Baby' album was an edited version of the original master where the solo was cut and a small part repeated.
