Clambake is the thirtieth album by Elvis Presley, released on RCA Victor Records in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 3893, in October 1967. As Presley began the last decade of his life, he entered RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee on February 21, 1967 for Recording sessions for his twenty fifth film. Supplemental material sessions took place on September 10 and 11, 1967. It peaked at #40 on the Billboard 200.

By the end of 1966, Presley no longer commanded the same level of sales or artistic respect as he had during the first ten years of his career. But Elvis had little enthusiasm at this juncture for more soundtrack sessions, the project already in jeopardy before it started. The sessions turned out a fiasco; of the eight songs recorded, two had been edited out of the film, and even with "How Can You Lose What You Never Had" restored to the soundtrack, that left an album of merely seven songs.

Twenty-two weeks this LP was on the Hot LP chart for at number 33 when it entered on December 2, 1967. A wedding photo of Elvis & Priscilla was included with this package.
