Notes

Produced and Art Directed by Roger Semon and Ernst Mikael Jørgensen / Vinyl Mastering by Abbey Road Studios, London.

Viva Las Vegas was first released by Follow That Dream as a 7 inch 2xCD extended soundtrack in November 2003 (see here), and this vinyl edition is a compilation of tracks taken from that original release, but this vinyl edition also contains take 2 of 'If You Think I Don't Need You' (side 3, track 6) and take 2 of 'The Lady Loves Me' (side 4, track 6), which were unreleased at this point in time.

The outtakes released on this vinyl edition and the extended soundtrack CD are presented with "Dry" vocals, as they were originally recorded, with no, or very little reverb (echo). On The Viva Las Vegas Sessions (released in July 2018 - see here) however, the whole set was drenched in reverb, meaning this vinyl edition and the extended soundtrack CD are still the only place to find some of these outtakes in this form.

Although take 9 of 'The Climb' is listed on the cover (side 1, track 7), which is the take used for the movie version of the song, it is actually takes 1, 4, 5 and 9 that are on here.

The original number for this vinyl edition was FTD-28-33, but this was changed to FTD-293 in their numbering system.
