The soundtrack songs were recorded in June 1964 at Radio Recorders Studios in Hollywood, California. The music album with the same title was released in April 1965 to coincide with the film's debut. According to Roy Carr & Mick Farren in "Elvis The Illustrated Record" (Harmony Books, 1982, p.97), an error in mastering resulted in Presley's voice being sped up on several of the recordings, most notably the title track. RCA finally released a corrected version of the title track in its 1990s compilation "Collectors Gold from the Movie Years". "The Meanest Girl in Town" by Joy Byers was not written for the film; as "Yeah, She's Evil!" the song had been previously recorded in June 1964 by Bill Haley & His Comets and released on Decca Records.
