"Kiss Me Quick"/"Suspicion" (RCA 447-0369) The songs had only been available on an album; "Pot Luck" released in 1962.

The Colonel continued to complain to M.G.M. about budget overruns on "Viva Las Vegas". He expressed his profound objection to the fact that advertising for the picture was aimed at promoting Ann-Margret as much as Elvis. He didn't agree with M.G.M.'s rationalisations about generating "more drawing power [than the] normal Presley audience." He objected to ads that referred to Ann-Margret's previous films and said he never asked to include a phrase like Elvis Presley, "the Fun in Acapulco boy," or "the Jailhouse Rock boy." He told the studio, "If someone else should ride on our back then we should get a better saddle."

Sometime during the filming of "Roustabout" Elvis met this British Radio personality for a second time, the first was
during the filming of "Wild in the Country". He was photographed wearing the Colonel's movie coat while Elvis pulled at
his hair. (again wasn't sure whether to include this)
