"Way Down In The Jungle Room" is the most complete and comprehensive collection of Presley's final studio recordings ever assembled in one anthology. It is an essential and welcome addition for every fan's library. "Way Down In The Jungle Room" brings together, for the first time in one collection, master recordings and rare outtakes laid down during two mythic sessions (February 2-8, 1976 and Octobr 28-30, 1976) in Graceland's den - known as the "jungle room", which was converted into a professional calibre recording studio for the purpose of capturing these performances.
"Way Down In The Jungle Room" has been re-sequenced to "bring a fresh perspective to the material". The material on Disc 2 - The Outtakes was mixed for this collection at the Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis and includes both outtakes and in-the-studio dialogue, providing a "fly-on-the-wall experience of what the sessions were like". With the exception of track 13 ('She Thinks I Still Care'), the performances on Disc 2 have been re-sequenced in the order they were recorded.
