PODCAST – Tickle Me Recycled Soundtrack
Elvis’s 18th movie – Tickle Me recycled soundtrack
Tickle Me was Elvis’s 18th outing as a Hollywood star. Money was tight at the studio so in order to cut costs, the movie soundtrack used songs from some of Elvis’s old albums.
The soundtrack recycled songs from three of his previous studio albums, Pot Luck with Elvis, Elvis is Back! and Something For Everybody. Two tracks were lifted from the bonus tracks on two of his old movie soundtrack albums, Kissin’ Cousins and Fun in Acapulco.
The soundtrack for Tickle Me didn’t even warrant release on an album. Instead, it appeared as two EPs in the UK and an EP and two singles in America.
Extract from Rock’n’Roll Unravelled
Most of The Beatles/Elvis Presley Unravelled podcasts are based on extracts from Derek Shelmerdine‘s book Rock’n’Roll Unravelled.
THIS EXTRACT: 28 May 1965: Tickle Me premiered in Atlanta, Georgia.
With its unique three-part structure, Rock’n’Roll Unravelled tells the story of rock’n’roll from its roots to mid-1970s punk.
