I think Imperial Bedroom would be his Pet Sounds/Pepper.
Probably the artist whose catalogue EC's is best analogous to is Dylan:
This Year's Model: Highway 61
Almost Blue: Nashville Skyline (or Self Portrait if you're being uncharitable)
King Of America: Blood On The Tracks

The Ryko reissue had the elephants.

Re: Bass
The bass line is borrowed from Crooked Beat by the Clash. You sure about that? Trust came out only one month after Sandinista (January 1981 vs. December 1980). Since Trust was completed in November, Elvis would have needed an advance copy of Sandinista . That's true but according to the EC sessiono...

Bass
The bass line is borrowed from Crooked Beat by the Clash. EC alludes to this in the liner notes of the Rhino reissue but doesn't mention the song by name.
