Overdubs
In 1969, Capitol overdubbed several trio-era songs. These featured a new overdubbed string background, arranged and conducted by Bob Bain, produced by Dave Cavanaugh, and with the original trio solos edited out.
Though the exact date of the overdubs is not known in all cases, many are known to have been recorded on March 31, 1969. Those that aren't known with certainty may also be on or near this date.

Two different overdubs of "Felicia" were included in the Bear Family box. Although both versions stem from the same vocal performance, there were enough differences in the instrumental tracks to warrant inclusion of both. The version not included on The Beautiful Ballads album was previously unreleased.

Stubby Kaye (v) on a; unknown (bkv) on a.
Cole died before he could record Capitol versions of songs from the film Cat Ballou. Because of this, producer Lee Gillette used the vocals from the soundtrack recordings Cole made for Columbia in September 1964. One month after Cole's death, Ralph Carmichael arranged and conducted the backing tracks that were combined with Cole's earlier vocals.
This was a split session with trumpeter Bobby Bryant, whose trumpet solos can also be heard in Cole's final album, L-O-V-E.
