Elvis had complained to the Colonel that when RCA mastered "It's Now or Never" in New York, the sound was altered, and that,
on the test pressing he had received, it no longer sounded like the acetate he received at the session. RCA's Bill Bullock responded by suggesting that Elvis' record player probably produced a different sound than the studio equipment, evidently hoping that Elvis' concerns would go away.

Recording for G.I. Blues resumed at Radio Recorders, where Elvis worked from 1:00 to 10:00 P.M., re-recording several of the songs. He remained dissatisfied, however, with the material, something he emphasised in a phone call around this time to Priscilla who was still in Germany. There is nothing he can do to change it, he said. "I'm locked into this thing." Elvis with Radio Recorders engineer, Thorne "Thorny" Nogar. (photo)

The Sinatra show was broadcast on the ABC network from 9:30 to 10:30 P.M. EST and attracted 41.5 percent of the viewing audience. Memphis jeweler Harry Levitch wrote to remind Elvis that he had not picked up his new diamond horseshoe ring. Levitch, a stalwart member of the Memphis philanthropical community, originally endeared himself to Elvis because of his kindness to Elvis' friend Red West, whom he helped out in high school.
