America The Beautiful - or a portion of it at least - can be heard on The Jungle Room Sessions CD. Apparently, this is all that's left of the studio version as the original tapes were re-used.

Absolutely. I should have said in its entirety. Good call.

Man, that reminds me of the excitement of giving that CD its first listen and hearing that at the end of the CD...I guess almost ten years ago. The instrumental track of There's A Fire Down Below had ended and the counter for the playing time of the CD was still ticking. Having just weeks before then played another CD with a hidden track (believe it was Jimmy Buffett), it did occur to me that I was likely in for a similar treat with this Elvis CD. And after about 15 seconds of silence, sure enough there was the last 20 seconds of ATB. Not a lot, but a little bit of gold for the Elvis enthusiast. What was there certainly sounded great and left the listener pining to hear the complete performance.

I had no idea the track was going to be at the end.

As I played the CD for the first time, I dozed off on the couch and woke up at the end of Fire Down Below. As I lay there waking up, I thought I was hearing things when that bit of America came on. A nice surprise, and a pity the whole thing doesn't exist ... yet!

I loved his sense of humor or hearing about it...priceless.
But this was not destroyed, I have heard this version and there is one of it online.

From Joe Esposito and Joe Russos book-Elvis-Straight Up--

Speaking of "blue",it was during the session for "Hurt" that Elvis recorded a unique version of that song especially for his father.After completing the master take,he asked Felton and the band to run through the song one more time.When he reached the spoken part of his performance,Elvis twisted the lovelorn recitation into a shocking, X-rated verbal assault that would have made late 80's comedian Sam Kinnison blush!Once we all regained our composure,Elvis sent for his father,Vernon,and said,"Listen to this,Daddy.You'll love it".Felton ran the playback of "Hurt".The song's dramatic opening crescendo followed by Elvis' booming opening line blared through the speakers,filling the room with sound:"I'm...soooohuuuuurrt".Vernon listened intently to Elvis's impassioned,powerful vocal,nodding his approval.Moment's later came the spoken second verse:

"I'm hurt...
much more...god***it honey,
I told you so...shit!...
yes darling,i'm so hurt...c***sucker!
Because...I still love you so...motherf***er!"

Vernon turned red."Oh,lord have mercy,son...what am i gonna do with you? he said,burying his face in his hands.It truly was one of the funniest prank's I've ever seen Elvis pull off.By the way,don't count on hearing this version of "Hurt" anytime soon.I believe Felton saw to it that tape was destroyed.

The tape isn't destroyed I have the recording.

If im not mistaken it's on the Bootleg Cut Me and I Bleed. I could be wrong as I don't have the CD in front of me to check, but I do have the audio track.

[poormansgold]

The Master tape of That Version Was destroyed.

Nope. That version of America is a live one from November '76, not the studio version.
