23skidoo 10th Feb 2020		Review The Spinout soundtrack album is a prime example of how Elvis' recording career was mishandled in the mid-1960s when the movie soundtracks took priority over everything else. Frankly, you can safely ignore everything on Side A and the first 3 tracks of Side B, except maybe if you want to compare Elvis' version of lead track Stop, Look and Listen with Ricky Nelson's original or even the Bill Haley version that, oddly, was recorded around the same time Elvis did his. Elvis' version ends weirdly - almost as if it's been truncated. No, the sole reason for wanting this album is for three of the best tracks Elvis ever recorded - and they were buried at the back of the soundtrack as bonus filler. In particular, the 5-minute-long cover of Dylan's "Tomorrow is a Long Time" is, in my opinion, the best vocal performance Elvis ever reccorded, full stop. Based on gospel singer Odetta's version, its relaxed pace, philosophical lyrics over a modern-country backing and Elvis' smooth vocal (apparently this was recorded at something like 6 am after an all-night recording session, so if Elvis was sleepy, it worked) is like nothing he recorded before or since. Sadly, the Beatles had yet to break the length barrier for singles with Hey Jude, so there was no way this would have been released on a single unless it was edited down - but what a track it would have been if included on an album like Elvis is Back. And the fact it rarely appears on compilations is a real puzzler. The two other tracks are also amazing - Down in the Alley is the hardest blues Elvis had recorded since Reconsider Baby, and I'll Remember You was a lovely ballad along the same lines as Presley's recent successful single "Love Letters" (a charity named for its writer was the beneficiary of Elvis' Aloha from Hawaii concert a few years later). Elvis experts often point to the How Great Thou Art gospel album and Guitar Man single, both from 1967, as the first stirrings of his Comeback, which climaxed in 1969 with the Memphis sessions and his return to Vegas. Had the Colonel or RCA put these three songs on a non-soundtrack album, tossed Down in the Alley onto a single, and filled the rest of the album with some of the other recordings from the period like Beyond the Reef (unreleased until 1966), Love Letters and so forth, the Comeback could have started a whole year earlier. 10 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



Vinyl Fan 19th Mar 2018		Added Bonus Photo for this LP fmc.



Bill Fick 9th Mar 2015		Also came with a bonus photo, as did the majority of his '60s-era soundtrack LPs. In many cases, the bonus photos are worth as much (sometimes more) than the albums themselves on the collector's market.
