Easy Come, Easy Go is a six-track soundtrack EP for the 1967 film and was the last release of new Presley material in the EP format, which had ceased to be commercially viable. Presley wrote none of the songs, which came from writers including Sid Wayne and Ben Weisman and the team of Gerald Nelson and Fred Burch. The release sold fewer than 30,000 copies in the US, though the British edition topped the UK EP chart. Joseph Lilley oversaw the music for RCA Victor.

"Easy Come, Easy Go" is the 1967 pop soundtrack by Elvis Presley, released as an EP for the film of the same name. RCA Victor issued it on March 1, 1967, with Joseph Lilley producing the September 1966 sessions at Paramount Studio in Hollywood and The Jordanaires, Scotty Moore, Charlie McCoy, and D.J. Fontana backing Presley. The set includes the title track "Easy Come, Easy Go," "The Love Machine," "Yoga Is As Yoga Does," and "You Gotta Stop." It failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold fewer than 30,000 units in the United States, although the British issue topped the UK EP charts. The release was the final new Presley material to appear in the EP format, reflecting that the format was no longer a viable marketing medium.
