Elvis Presley - Let Yourself Go - Movie Version - Re-edited with Stereo audio

One lasting legacy from Elvis' 1967 movie "Speedway" is that the "Hangout" nightclub set, which was the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino, in creating the Jack Rabbit Slims set in "Pulp Fiction" which also featured the dining cars.
The indisputable highlight of the movie, and the only half decent song within the movie, was "Let Yourself Go", written by Joy Byers and a re-recorded version, with a completely new and more contemporary arrangement, would be a surprise inclusion within the original edit of Elvis' TV Special the following year, although it would be edited out in order to pass censorship issues.
Elvis recorded the original version at MGM's Sound Stage in Hollywood, suggesting that the material wasn't even befitting being recorded in a proper recording studio, on 21 June 1967. Elvis and the band recorded six takes before it was decided that the final master would be splice of takes five and six.
It is perhaps testament to both the movie and the soundtrack album itself, that virtually no one outwith Elvis' fandom today would be aware of the film's existence or of any of the tracks on the album itself but conversely many would instantly recognise "Jailhouse Rock", "King Creole" or "Blue Hawaii".

As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the re-edited audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!
