The Fastest Guitar Alive soundtrack was originally released in June of 1967. Roy Orbison and his long-time co-writer Bill Dees ('Oh, Pretty Woman,' 'It's Over,' and many other hits) wrote all of the songs for the film that starred Roy Orbison in his feature film debut with MGM Pictures. The single, 'There Won't Be Many Coming Home' reached #12 in Australia.
