Biography

Elvis Aaron Presley is one of the biggest-selling artists of all-time, but mere numbers cannot begin to explain the colossal cultural impact he had in the mid-20th Century. He was a central figure in the transformation of the grey, conservative 50s into the technicolor 60s through the liberalizing effect of rock and pop music. Frank Sinatra had proved extremely popular in the 40s with young ... Read more in Amazon's Elvis Presley Store

2.0 out of 5 stars A career low-point for the King of Rock 'n' Roll 29 Jun 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
EASY COME, EASY GO (an apt title for a bad movie) was filmed and recorded when Elvis' career hit rock bottom. The film's soundtrack was originally released as a six-song EP that failed to chart in North America (but mysteriously, "The Love Machine" and "You Gotta Stop" charted as a double-sided single on the UK charts in 1967). Elvis' voice sounds disinterested, except on the gospel-influenced "Sing You Children." He must've mustered quite a sense of humour in order to get through singing an embarrasing ditty like "Yoga Is as Yoga Does." Yes, it's that bad.

SPEEDWAY, however, hinted at a career upswing, as Elvis was teamed up with Nancy Sinatra. Some of the songs are much better on this soundtrack, but are still short on originality and inspiration. It is also noteworthy in that it is the only Elvis album to include a track he didn't record ("Your Groovy Self," performed solo by Nancy). Originally, SPEEDWAY was the last of Elvis' soundtracks to be released as a full-length album.

This CD would have only received one star if it weren't for some mildly appealing songs from the SPEEDWAY soundtrack (including Elvis & Nancy's duet on "There Ain't Nothing Like a Song"). Buy it at your own risk.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Improvement Started Here 5 Jun 2005
By Mr. J. Hadwin
Format:Audio CD
This record compiles the "Easy Come, Easy Go" from September 66 and the "Speedway" from June '67, both later soundtrack efforts. "Easy Come" was recorded at the woefully inadequate Paramount Studio Recording Stage, and Elvis' heart clearly wasn't in it. This is a shame as the material was slightly better than average. The studio in MGM was much better for "Speedway", and the sound and Elvis' vocals were clearly much stronger.

For both sets there is a liberal sprinkling of sheer dross. "Five Sleeping Heads", "Your Time Has Come Yet Baby", "He's Your Uncle" and "Yoga Is As Yoga Does" are unlistenable. So lets not talk of them.

"Easy Come" is often quoted as Elvis' all-time low, but I don't quite get it. "Love Machine" and "Sing You Children" are lightweight, but not poor. The title song and "I'll Take Love" are good songs, while "You Gotta Stop" and "She's A Machine" are good rock'n'roll. Sure it's hardly "Loving You", but if Elvis had put more into it maybe it could have been a good album.

Elvis does put more into "Speedway", which is a shame as the material is weaker. The title song, "Who Are You" and "There ain't Nothing Like a song" are quite poor. The two good songs on offer - "Let Yourself Go" and "Suppose" - are given Elvis full attention. No more of the indifference shown to "I'll Take Love", Elvis gives real passion and power, these are clearly the best songs to be record for an Elvis soundtrack since "Viva Las Vegas" some 4 years earlier.

1.0 out of 5 stars speedway/easy come easy go 27 Mar 2011
By Keith R. Watson
Format:Audio CD
Easy come easy go is not really a film soundtrack as it only contains 6 songs, originally realeased as a 6 track extended play.Quite honestly its a pile of rubbish , one gets the impression that who ever wrote the song for this film could't care less about the quality . It seems that Elvis was just going through the motions of singing them as if to say lets get these done with and out of the way, he must have been fed up with some of the trashy song he was been given to sing.
SPEEDWAY
If you buy the double feature album then u will have this as well which was Elvis's last full film soundtrack (but with only 8 elvis songs its not even that)There were other Elvis films but this was the last film soundtrack and it was one of the worst.

It is so bad even thoese fans that bought it were't enough to put it into the album charts first Elvis album not to make the charts.
At least after this the films got better and Elvis was't far away from doing the N.B.C t.v SPEICAL, and the superb 'From Elvis in Memphis.
This album has only 10 tracks on it. 1 is by Nancy Sinatra which is rubbish (I like a lot of stuff Nancy has done but not this)but when I buy an Elvis album thats who I want to hear, one track is reapeated (suppose) which is proberly the best track on the album the rest are absoulte rubbish.
So only buy this in order to compleat your collection dont expect to enjoy it, its garabge and I bet Elvis said' Thank god theres no more of these godam soundtracks lets now get on to making some proper music.
