Overall verdict:
For some reason Elvis fans often complain that this soundtrack album was a lightweight disappointment but with the superbly descriptive title of “Fun In Acupulco” what more could you except than Bullfighting, Bossa Novas, Maracas, Mariachis, Muchachas, Vino, Dinero and Amor!
It was a great improvement on the previous 'World’s Fair' and for a musically themed soundtrack album it is a classic.
More power to FTD for releasing the (near) complete sessions - and with Elvis obviously enjoying the “latino challenge” having the chance to eavesdrop on the full recording session is a lovely, upbeat experience. Truly a collector's treat, and with an incredible audio quality, over 55 years since Elvis stepped into the studio to record this box of Mexican delights.
While fans need to be aware of multiple tracks not featuring Elvis - or several being vocal overdubs - there are a pile of “Previously Unreleased Delights” that makes this deluxe-set a collector’s essential purchase
FTD, More Complete Sessions please!
