Now available is the second release on the POPCORN label. This amazing double album is completely dedicated to the Harum Scarum sessions.
These sessions, which took place in February & March of 1965, 8 months after the GIRL HAPPY sessions Elvis went back to STUDIO B at the RCA STUDIOS in Nashville Tennessee. Some overdubs took place at the MGM Sound Stage in Hollywood California 2 weeks later. The sessions resulted in 11 master recordings of which 9 were used in the movie. Wisdom of the ages & Animal Instinct were featured as bonus tracks on the soundtrack lp.
Now you can enjoy these sessions on this deluxe double album. All the tracks are also available on the 2 bonus cd’s added to this package. Although not the best sessions Elvis was involved in, still this set makes a great listen.
