Ann Margret - My Rival - Viva Las Vegas HD Movie Version - Re-edited with RCA/Sony audio

The second of two Ann Margret solo performances contained within Elvis' 1963 movie "Viva Las Vegas" was "My Rival" which instead of referring to an alternate love interest, is in fact a reference to the main character's obsession with a racing car! It is a fun little number but falls into that category, typical of many MGM musicals, which only make sense within the body of the movie. It was recorded by Ann Margret on 28 August 1963 at the MGM sound stage in Hollywood. In August 2018, RCA/Sony through their Elvis collectors label, Follow That Dream, released what should have been the undisputed definitive Viva Las Vegas sessions collection. As per normal for such a release, evident in other similar releases such as Fun In Acapulco and Kid Galahad, an attempt was made to remix and remaster the tracks from scratch. However, may have their doubts about the success of this venture, primarily down to the original process in which MGM made their soundtrack recordings and also because much of the studio dialogue is also missing. It is from this collection, however, that the audio for this video has been sourced. As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the re-edited audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!
