Almost every track was previously unreleased, including the 1959 private recordings from Germany, "Plantation Rock" (never used in the film) and the Ann-Margret duet "The Lady Loves Me".

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means the sleeve shows light wear; here it is still in its original shrink with sticker. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
