Harum Scarum is the eleventh soundtrack album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley, released by RCA Victor in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 3468, in November 1965.

[2] Although 1965 had seen the release of Elvis for Everyone!, a studio album which was actually recorded over a ten-year period dating back to Presley's first recordings from Sun Studios in Memphis, and a surprising worldwide hit with a five-year-old Gospel track, "Crying in the Chapel", it was back to the grind of making soundtracks.

A single was issued a month later, using the leftover 1957 track "Tell Me Why" backed with "Blue River" from aborted album sessions in May 1963.

In an ominous sign of things to come, it only made it to number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100, the lowest charting single of Presley's career to date.

[10] In 2003, Harum Scarum was reissued on Follow That Dream Records in a special edition that contained the original album tracks along with numerous alternate takes.
