Elvis Presley. Harum Scarum. RCA Victor Records(LPM 3468). Mono. 1965. Original Soundtrack Album.

I feel like the only reason why Harum Scarum (1965)—the soundtrack to the film of the same name—gets such bad reviews is because people watched the film before listening to the soundtrack. Granted, the film is pretty awful, but the only way you're ever gonna enjoy Harum Scarum is by listening to the soundtrack before watching the film. If you watched the film before listening to the soundtrack, you'll automatically dismiss it as one of Elvis Presley's weaker '60s soundtrack albums. If you did listen to the soundtrack before watching the film, you'll know for sure that it's actually one of Elvis Presley's stronger '60s soundtrack albums.

It is practically the first album of the decade with Arabian influences by an American rock and roll artist. In many ways, it was a prologue for what occurred in the late-'60s with the hippie movement, especially tunes like "Golden Coins" and "Wisdom of the Ages" reflect what a great artist the King was. It's too bad that the King was already in the mid-'60s when Harum Scarum came out as he wasn't at the height of his popularity at that time, but this soundtrack album sure is a masterpiece and is right up there with Blue Hawaii (1961). Definitely deserves a place in the Top 10 1965 Albums if not at No. 1.--ALLNIGHTLong1966
