Re: Attractions 'King of America' sessions
I liked the story that Bruce told about the Attractions being a bit unhappy with the KOA situation. Bruce went to talk to EC in a hotel room, and EC was surrounded by large versions of possible "king" photos for the album cover, and Bruce thought he's finally gone mad.

Re: Rare clip of Elvis singing 'I'm In The.Mood Again'
I remember seeing him sing I'm in the Mood Again on a UK daytime chat show hosted by Jimmy Tarbuck. He talked about the album North. Anyone else remember that? I keep looking for it on You Tube. Did I dream it? Sulky? Top Balcony? Any ideas?

I see ex F1 boss, Max Mosley had died. He was the son of Oswald Mosley who inspired Elvis to write Less than Zero.

RIP Gerry Marsden. I have a live recording of EC singing Ferry Cross the Mersey / Tiny Steps. I am sure Top Balcony or Sulky can tell me which show it was!!

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
A friend of mine just sent me a message saying he had bought Spike and Mighty Like Rose in a charity shop for 50p each. He had never heard them before but so far he had enjoyed "a song about God and something about chewing gum" - he was half way through Spike. I was almost jealous of him h...

Re: New release based on one of Elvis Costello and the Attractions most celebrated albums!!
Could it be a classic album together with live versions from different years? So a live version of the album. Has that been done before?

Re: Elvis and The Imposters, Nottingham (England), June 15, 2018
Great to meet up with Sulky and Sulky jr. How that young man resisted the Elvis tea towel is beyond me. Great show and the backing singers were thrilling. Funnily enough, She was a highlight for me along with Clubland and Tears.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
The recent death of Bruce Forsyth, the UK beloved entertainer, reminded me that when I went to the book launch of EC's autobiography at the Royal Court theatre in Liverpool, board member Top Balcony asked a question about EC's many appearances at that theatre and if he had any special memories.
