Session notes

YOU'RE MY BABY includes false starts and a complete take and was overdubbed at an unknown date. MY TREASURE take 1 includes a false start and a complete take. There is also a second voice, possibly Marshall Grant, doing a short vocal harmony. There is a false start with Cash saying he sang the wrong lyrics. MY TREASURE take 2 was overdubbed with added echo before release. SHOW ME THE GREEN was mentioned in the liner notes of The Man In Black (BCD 15517). Apparently this title was written on an empty tape box found in the original Sun inventory but the tape itself has not be found.
