[edit] Soundtrack
The soundtrack songs were recorded in October of 1968 at United Recorders in Los Angeles, California. Only one recording, "Clean Up Your Own Backyard" was actually released in conjunction with the film's release. "Almost" appeared in a later compilation, while the remaining songs were not released until after Presley's death.
"Clean Up Your Own Backyard" is notable for its anachronistic lyrics that do not fit the era of the film.
