My understanding is you do not get a CD Sampler with 7 songs. Instead, you get a code inside the genre CD "Elvis R & B" that enables you to download the 7 songs from Wal Mart's site for free - one song from each of the 6 genre releases and "Lawdy, Miss Clawdy" Take 9. "Lawdy, Miss Clawdy" Take 9 is on the new FTD release "Elvis Presley" so it really isn't an unreleased version.

William is most likely correct. Not only is the cut-throat, anti-union, tax-payer dependent Wal-Mart not really worth supporting, but back in '02, there was a "Wal-Mart" version of "E1" - with a code that allowed you to computer access to an allegedly "unreleased" track. Like some of those tracks released on FTD that BMG later called un-released on the main RCA label (why, because FTD's are made in Denmark?), it turns out that this track (a "Little Sister" alternate) was available elsewhere. When it comes to BMG, it pays to think twice. Good call, William.

If you go to Wal-Marts download site, you can see all the seven tracks listed along with the take 9 of lawdy, Miss Clawdy. They are Hound Dog, Green, Green Grass Of Home, If I Can Dream, Reconsider Baby, Unchained Melody and Viva Las Vegas,
