Announcement:
Now available is
the fifth release on the POPCORN label. This amazing double album is
completely dedicated to the VIVA LAS VEGAS sessions. Most of the
sessions took place from July 9 through July 11 of 1963 at the Radio
Recorders Studio's STUDIO B, located in Hollywood, California. Elvis
briefly went back to the studio on the 8th and 30th of August to record
Santa Lucia and What'd I Say. Some overdubs & scoring sessions took
place at the MGM soundstage in August & October 1963.
The sessions resulted in 12 master recordings besides some alternate
movie versions. The movie premiered on May 20th, 1963, throughout the
USA. However, there was never a soundtrack LP released for VIVA LAS
VEGAS, as was the custom at the time, although there was an Extended
Play which flopped. The popularity of Extended Plays had been declining
ever since Elvis last put out an EP. Along with the Extended Play, a 45
RPM was also released with the title song of the movie and Ray Charles'
‘What'd I Say.'.
Now you can enjoy highlights from these recording sessions on this
deluxe double album. All of the takes are fully remastered and sound
better than ever. The movie versions are speed-corrected and are
presented in their original mono sound.
This very limited high-quality 180-gram vinyl edition is available in
GOLD or PURPLE vinyl.
Also, a GOLD/PURPLE edition is available in a very limited quantity.
All the tracks are also available on the 2 bonus CDs (in cardboard
sleeves) that are added to this package.
The two CDs are also available separately (in ultra-limited quantity) in
a deluxe digipack. This is a very limited edition double CD release!
