the best of the bunch so far. the duet with ann margret is really nice on today tomorrow and forever. one of my favorites from the movie.

The best sound/mixed soundtrack for me...Great songs as well of course.

I love the songs, but it's mastered too damn loud for my taste. No warmth. Elvis for the MTV generation.

A highly-recommended purchase for your collections. It's wonderful to have all the songs from this classic soundtrack all together plus some out-takes. The two Ann-Margret solo efforts namely, "Appreciation" and "My Rival" are not included here but we do get all her duets with The King including the lovely "Today, Tomorrow & Forever". Great Cover and packaging too!

The climb


the original recording was made by The Coasters on 31-07-61 for Atlantic records.

and here is the scan I found (Atco is sub label from Atlantic)

Always thought that the sound was great on this release

I had made no type error but two other sources (including a booklet with a CD) give a recording date as 31 july 1962; I think this is the right date.

in my opnion elvis best soundtrack album from the 60`s!

I need somebody to lean on


here we find a version with a longer fade out (2:57) than on the Double Features CD (2:47).

I need somebody to lean on...it"s as near to a JAZZ song that he recorded.

I like this song.


Can i get my "SWEETIES" back!?.

I´m looking forward to this one too.

I have always loved C´mon Everybody, Do The Vega and of course the title song Viva Las Vegas.
