December 8, 1962, was the date that this LP entered Billboard's Hot LP chart at the number 3 position, and it remained on the chart for thirty-two weeks.

Sixteen songs were recorded at the sessions in March, of which thirteen were used for the soundtrack album. Banished from the kingdom after running afoul of the Colonel, songs from favored writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller could only be those already written for someone else, in this case the title track being a hit for The Coasters in 1961 before being adapted for the Presley film. This song and two others, "Return to Sender" and "Because of Love," appear on the 1995 soundtrack compilation.

The tracks "Return to Sender" and "Where Do You Come From" were issued as the both sides of a single in October 1962, one month before the release of the soundtrack LP. "Return to Sender" became a substantial hit for Presley, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while the b-side "Where Do You Come From" squeaked in at #99 independently of the hit side.
