The first songs to be featured within Elvis' 1964 classic movie "Viva Las Vegas" was the medley of "Yellow Rose of Texas" and "The Eyes of Texas" which is one of those MGM musical numbers which historically make no sense in any context except the movie screenplay.

It was recorded by Elvis at Radio Recorders' studio B in Hollywood on 11 July 1963 an the original master take, number nine, incredibly lasted for over three and a half minutes. This was edited by virtue of an early fade, to just under three minutes, but further edits were required for it's inclusion in the movie.

In August 2018, RCA/Sony through their Elvis collectors label, Follow That Dream, released what should have been the undisputed definitive Viva Las Vegas sessions collection. As per normal for such a release, evident in other similar releases such as Fun In Acapulco and Kid Galahad, an attempt was made to remix and remaster the tracks from scratch. However, may have their doubts about the success of this venture, primarily down to the original process in which MGM made their soundtrack recordings and also because much of the studio dialogue is also missing. It is from this collection, however, that the audio for this video has been sourced.

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!
