This LP was one of Elvis' shortest albums with a running time of just over 20 minutes. The songs were pretty average and sign of things to come regarding the 'formula' movie soundtracks.

NOTE: This LP was issued using the matrix number PPRM. PP = 1963        RM = Mono LP

Side 1: PPRM 2727     Side 2: PPRM 2728

This album was kept in stock by issuing re-pressings with the same catalogue number

until it was deleted by RCA in August 1970.
