Notes: I'm one of those Elvis fans that likes his "schmaltzy" work as much as his harder edged music. This interest
inspired me to put together this matrix, a first for me. The ALD recording is dry. Really dry. I mixed it with the AUD
recording which fixed that problem. Unfortunately, the audience recording has issues with noise from the neighbors.
As described by Bacharach: "There is some talking from a group of drunks sitting directly behind me. One demonstrates
his Elvis Costello impression at the start of 'Veronica' (0:30) and then apologizes and promises to shut up (0:52) after
I give him a dirty look. He continues to talk occasionally but waits until 'Alison' to resume his impression. Other members
of his group really want to hear 'Ship Of Fools' (of all things). The wine bottle heard rolling on the ground is theirs."

There is some audible distortion during the peak vocal portions in "Alison".

Overall, I'm more than satisfied with the final product. Samples below in the comments section and in the YouTube clip:
