Reviews Customer Reviews for Viva Las Vegas 1964 Filma Roustabout 1964 Film      Great soundtracks--up there with GI Blues      Rating:      Many other reviews here pay homage to Viva Las Vegas, and rightly so. However, I have to strongly disagree with those who underappreciate Roustabout. This is one of the best soundtracks, with only two clunkers--Carny Town and It's Carnival time. The other nine songs are great, the title tune plus Little Egypt, Poison Ivy League, Hard Knocks, and One Track Heart--all great rockers. The other four include some good love songs and likeable swing-type songs. One review mentioned in passing that this album hit #1. That was in November 1964, which was the very height of the "British Invasion" when American artists were being pushed off the charts. To my knowledge, only Blue Hawaii and GI Blues hit #1 among the 60's soundtracks. The fact that Elvis could be #1 in late 64 is extraordinary and a testimony to how good this album had to be. It is definitely better than Blue Hawaii and a close second to GI Blues among the soundtracks. This combo with Viva Las Vegas is great.     Customer Reviews for Viva Las Vegas 1964 Filma Roustabout 1964 Film Cd      Elvis Rocks "Hard Knocks"      Rating:      Unlike many fans of "The King", I was too young to appreciate his early music (Hound Dog, etc.) and too old to get into the overweight, jumpsuit Elvis. I found my niche at 10 when I saw Roustabout at a Saturday matinee. I was hooked. Every time I had a few dollars saved up I'd head to my local record shop and order (Elvis soundtracks aren't normally something they carried in stock)one of his movie tracks. Viva Las Vegas, Kissin Cousins, Roustabout, Girl Happy, and on and on. I have his greatest hits. etc, but when I want to rock out, it's always an Elvis soundtrack I drop in. How can you beat "Hard Knocks", "Big Love(big heartache)", "Viva Las Vegas" and "Come On Everybody"? Oh no doubt there are some clunkers amongst the gems ("Do the Vega" for example) but the bulk of these songs are really fun to listen to (and sing along) and I think capture Elvis in his prime.
