Brief History : Kissin' Cousins is the twentieth album by Elvis Presley, released on RCA Victor Records in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 2894, in April 1964. Recording sessions took place at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 26 and 27, and September 29 and 30, 1963. These would be Presley's final recording dates before the arrival of Beatlemania. It peaked at #6 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. During the same week of its release, 4 April 1964, The Beatles held twelve positions on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, including the top five positions. It was evident that Elvis' musical output had become stale and stagnant and directionless and the emphasis of his career was firmly committed to making musical comedy motion pictures. With the astronomical success of The Fab Four, Elvis had become, in slightly less than a decade, an icon of the past.

Since the sessions for Viva Las Vegas had gone way over budget, released after but completed before Kissin' Cousins, Colonel Parker determined for fiscal prudence to have the songs recorded at Studio B, away from Hollywood and its distractions, and its platoon of available on-call musicians. Demand for songs to fill long-playing soundtrack albums, by now a regularity as the EP single was becoming less and less a viable sales item, strained the resources of the stable of Presley songwriters, with five songs alone originating from the team of Giant, Baum and Kaye.

Ten soundtrack songs were knocked off by Presley with members of the Nashville A-Team during two evening sessions in September, with two distinct versions by different songwriters of the title track, one recorded in Presley's normal voice and the other with a mock-hillbilly twang. The latter version of "Kissin' Cousins" would be issued as a single in February 1964, with "It Hurts Me" on the b-side. It would peak at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, its flipside making it independently to #29.

As had happened with the previous soundtrack, two additional tracks, "Echoes of Love" and "(It's A) Long Lonely Highway" by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman were taken from the aborted "lost" album sessions of May, 1963, and added here to bring the running order up to twelve tracks.

E.P. soundtrack from the motion picture "Viva Las Vegas", 1964.

The film (and, consequently, the E.P. sountrack) received different titles around the world, like "Love in Las Vegas" (UK, Europe, etc.) and "Amor a Tôda Velocidade" ("Love at Full Speed", Brazil).

Although most of the E.P. versions feature the initial four tracks, some have two tracks removed and replaced by alternative tracks, "Viva Las Vegas" and "What I'd Say". Another later issue features the Initial tracks plus the two alternatives on the same 7" vinyl.

Brief History :

Roustabout is the twenty-first album by Elvis Presley, released on RCA Victor Records in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 2999, in October 1964. Recording sessions took place at Radio Recorders in Hollywood, California, on March 2 and 3, and April 29, 1964. It peaked at #1 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart. It was certified Gold on 5/20/1988 by the R.I.A.A. The album would be Presley's final soundtrack to reach #1 and his last #1 album until 1973's Aloha From Hawaii: Via Satellite.

Payments to Presley for each film amounted to between $225,000 to $1,000,000 up front, often half the budget for production, with a 50% share of the profits. These movies were being shot in sometimes as little as three weeks, with the complete scoring and recording of the soundtrack albums taking no more than two weeks. It fell to Colonel Parker's lieutenant Freddy Bienstock to ensure that the soundtrack songs fit into the profit equation with the publishing controlled by Elvis Presley Music or Gladys Music, the Hill and Range Publishing companies owned by Elvis and the Colonel. As a result, successful writers such as Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Otis Blackwell and Winfield Scott, and Don Robertson lost interest in adhering to the needs of the grind. It was interlocking self-promotion, causing one MGM employee to remark that the movies "didn't need titles. They could be numbered. They would still sell.

Blackwell and Scott in fact submitted a candidate for the title track, "I'm A Roustabout" recorded on March 3, only to find it substituted by a song from a different team of writers. This recording was eventually released by RCA on the top-selling 2003 compilation 2nd to None.

Presley and his coterie of top session musicians gamely plowed through all of this, and eleven songs were recorded for the twenty-minute soundtrack LP.
