Better late than never

"Viva Las Vegas" is without doubt one of Elvis Presley's more convincing Hollywood outings with a good script, a superb set of songs, and the presence of Ann-Margret. For some perverse reason, though, the soundtrack has from the start been neglected and was never granted an album. At the time RCA considered the matter closed by releasing a single ("What'd I Say"/"Viva Las Vegas") and a four- song extended play in dull mono sound, leaving several songs on the shelve for years, or indeed, as in the case of the three Ann-Margret duets, ages after Elvis had been dead and buried. The present Follow That Dream release finally resurrects the soundtrack as it should, adding several outtakes as a delectable bonus, and presenting it all in outstanding sound quality and classy artwork. As has become customary in FTD's soundtrack releases there is a great booklet in a handy tri-fold digipack (the size of a 45rpm).
Better late than never. Enjoy!

Classic Elvis!!

This CD for the first time features the soundtrack of one of Elvis' most popular soundtracks. The sound quality is second to none and is a collector's dream. These songs were recorded in July/August 1963 and Elvis' commitment is obvious in the many outtakes featured on the CD. Highlights? Too many to mention but bonus points for the early take of Viva Las Vegas and the movie version of C'mon Everybody. As a long time Elvis fanatic this is a CD I had hoped would one day be released. Now it is. The packaging is also a highlight with rare photos and information. Buy with confidence.
