The Bear Family CD might list a specific recording date for "Crawfish," and that would be a start.

Thanks for getting this information.

The legendary King Curtis on sax, how cool!!

The track was taped five months after the Presley master, and a July-August release date seems likely for this version of "Crawfish."

Don't forget too that Burt Keyes did the arrangement of Chuck Jackson's 1962 hit, "Any Day Now."
