Clambake

VINYL FORMAT. Import; on 180 gram vinyl! Elvis Presley became a film star in 1956, and would go on to appear in a total of thirty-three feature films in a span of fourteen years. The accompanying soundtracks are fan-sought rarities (both on CD or LP), but eight of these albums are available again from Music on Vinyl - this time with re-mastered sound!

'1967's Clambake was Elvis' twenty-fifth film and the third to co-star Shelley Fabares. Unlike the bulk of Elvis' Hollywood-recorded soundtracks, this one was waxed in Nashville with a host of Music City A-Listers, including drummer Buddy Harman, guitarist Charlie McCoy, pianist Floyd Cramer and steel guitarist Pete Drake. Also on hand were Elvis long-time associates, Scotty Moore and the Jordanaires. By this point the soundtrack songwriters were etched in stone, with contributions from Sid Wayne, Ben Weisman, Sid Tepper, Roy C. Bennett and Joy Byers. The soundtrack's best cuts come from the few outside writers: Jerry Reed, credited as Jerry "Reed" Hubbard, contributed the super fine "Guitar Man;" Elvis struts his stuff on a cover of Jimmy Reed's "Big Boss Man;" and Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold's "You Don't Know Me" blows the regular soundtrack writers' material out of the water.' - Hyperbolium.com
