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.
