May 26, 2008 · The version on Always On My Mind album (1985) is the master take with the original orchestral overdubs as done in 1972. The strings were removed from the original master because of Elvis's request. The 1985 version is a remix with the removed overdubs restored. They were asked to perform one of their favourite Elvis tracks and they narrowed it down to two options, "Baby Let's Play House" and "Always on My Mind", eventually settling on the latter. Their Presley cover would later be re-released in a 12" version, consisting of a medley, along with an acid house track by the duo, titled "In My House".Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died. Give me, give me one more chance. To keep you satisfied, satisfied. Little things I should have said and done. I just never took the time. You were always on my mind. You are always on my mind. You are always on my mind. Recorded: 1972/03/29, first released on single.
