So as far as Elvis 70’s albums went they were hit or miss so with that in mind what is the opinion on Elvis’s last Studio Album “Today”? Do y’all like it? The arrangements, the songs, the voice? I personally think there were some good songs on this album and was his first good album in years.

I was looking at both side by side and they look very similar, so did the Clash do this as a reference to Elvis or simply by coincidence? They both have vertical pink writing on the left side of the album, and horizontal green writing on the bottom saying the name of the album, and they both have a black and white photo of someone holding a guitar in the background. If I could post the pictures of the two album covers side to side I would, but since I can't, I shan't.

I want to talk about Elvis Presley’s 14th Soundtrack Album “Spinout”. As far as his 60’s Soundtracks went they usually weren’t too great but you could always find a gem or two in them but Spinout had no business being as good as it did. It had some of the strongest Soundtrack songs he ever recorded in my opinion and some usual fillers but it had the 3 extra songs “Tomorrow Is a Long Time”, “Down In the Alley” and “I’ll Remember You”. The Soundtrack definitely outdid the movie as far as quality goes. I listen to this album a lot and it’s one of my favorite Elvis Albums and he actually seems engaged with the material. Thoughts about my opinion or the album itself?
I’m a big 50s Rock n Roll collector and would love to get an original pressing of it. Had the opportunity a couple of times and it ended up slipping away from me. If anyone is willing to sell please HMU
He didnt cry this much when my great nan died. He saw her every weekend. He was upset, we had a conversation about death, and he accepted it and moved on.
I think maybe its because he likes the music so much. But I'm not sure.
We were watching a documentary style thing today, regarding him (Happy Birthday, Elvis) which he was surprisingly into. Part way through he informs us he wants to go to one of the "song parties".
I tell him that, while that would be lovely, Elvis died, so we cant. But we can watch the videos of him.
He starts sobbing. Full body sobbing. He spent the evening listening to Elvis cuddled up with my dad. Honestly, I think I reacted the same way when I found out.
May he rest well. And may my kid please go to sleep because its six in the morning and we havent slept yet. We can talk about Elvis tomorrow.
Eta: clarification. My nan is alive. My great nan passed away in October.
Scratching at the coffin lid, screaming “Let me out!”
