Editorial Reviews

Elvis returned to Hawaii for another onscreen romp in '62, and the success of the film was topped by its soundtrack: a #3 smash featuring one of the King's all-time classics, Return to Sender. Also: his hit Where Do You Come From; his version of the title Coasters hit, and more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Elvis sings like a bird [seagull?....], February 12, 2010

Okay, they didn't re-mix, but this time the original, flat mix is fine with me - works along the lines of the lean and light musical that Paramount presented back in the Kennedy era, when all was happy and hopeful, and Elvis was engaged during filming and recording of under-appreciated teen flicks.

I agree about the clunkers, but Elvis' singing and some terrific melodies and beats make it a groovy, uplifting listen. More demanding fans might note that the musical soundtrack has nothing "Hawaiian" about it - I cannot detect a ukelele, etc. on the whole l.p.

Title tune, of course, is a fantastic Lieber-Stoller mirthful uptempo, interestingly enough, a semi-flop for the great Coasters, the year before. All the fast songs are hip and infectious. Ballads are really beautiful, especially the deleted after-hours, poignant lament "I Don't Want To" (fans note that the movie trailor has a snippet from the deleted movie scene!); the ethereal "Where Do You Come From?", another song edited from the story. (Elvis *speaks* the title in a nicely lit scene).

Cool price-tag for this CD.

This newly remastered soundtrack has a much more dynamic sound, and directional stereo, than the Double Features release (with Kid Galahad) from the 1990s. This new CD sounds much more like the old vinyl LP but with the advantages of CD - no ticks, pops, inner groove distortion, etc. Listen to "Return To Sender", the Boots Randolph sax intro comes much more from the left channel (like the LP), and the overall soundstage is much more vital and distinct. A great upgrade for a great price!

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice set for avid Elvis fans, February 17, 2008

This review is from: Girls Girls Girls (Audio CD)

The soundtrack for Girls! Girls! Girls! was a big hit in the US when it was released in late 1962 reaching number 3 on the album chart and was certified GOLD by the RIAA. This CD includes one of Elvis' signature songs, Return to Sender, which was a huge hit worldwide. It peaked at number 2 on the US singles chart and was certified PLATINUM. It's flip side, Where Do You Come From, was a minor hit just cracking the top 100. The title song was a hit in other countries including France. This release includes numerous alternate takes not available on the original release.
