Comments and Reviews


russh29 ● 31st Mar 2022		A friend is currently selling a white label test pressing of this on which the date is "3-5-77"...does this indicate those April test pressings were no good and they had to have a 2nd batch pressed I wonder ?



chrisb 14th Aug 2020		Added review and 2 page ad from NME July 23rd 1977. (I’ll try and scan a sharper review image) 2 page ads in two of the other music weeklies give the other 4 pages to complete your bedroom wall Elvis poster!



David Whiteley ● 23rd May 2020		Added White label A & B side scans. Note the date 27/4/1977, three months before it was officially released. It is identical to a stock copy with the same matrix numbers and messages and is in a laminated yellow backed sleeve.



Jo Atmon 10th Nov 2018		The HMV Classic Collection edition claims the release date as "Originally released July 23rd 1977"



Marker 14th Oct 2018		So … just to add bit of clarity here … the pic uploaded of the 'Help Us Hype Elvis insert' is not actually the 'Help Us Hype Elvis insert', even though what is pictured bears the title 'Help Us Hype Elvis'. The item shown is actually something that was stuck by Stiff onto the front cover of copies of the LP that were sent to people who had been nominated to receive a free copy by a friend who had filled out the Help Us Hype Elvis insert that came with their copy. (And the name of your friend was written in the space provided in the text.) If what has pictured was actually found as an insert in a copy of the LP, it could be down to a number of things, but that wasn't it's intended existence or use. The Help Us Hype Elvis insert that came with a limited number of first copies is a different design to this.



Bodston SUBS 18th May 2017		Ohh nice..



chrisb 18th May 2017		Added my 'Help Us Hype Elvis' album insert.



chrisb 23rd Aug 2016		The (uncredited) backing band on this album were members of the Californian country rock band Clover.



Marker 21st Nov 2015		Early copies (first 1000 I believe) included a 'Help Us Hype Elvis' insert that you could fill out, nominating a friend to receive a free copy of the LP courtesy of Stiff. Recipients of such free copies received a customised copy of the LP that had a sticker on the front covering the Elvis photo. The sticker had a close-up of Elvis's face, some text and the name of the friend who had nominated you written on in pen.



janiejjones 13th Feb 2014		Added yellow 2nd gen. back Printed by Press & Post Ltd. Manufactured and distributed by Island Records Ltd. Deadwax (etched) A: I - 8 SEEZ 3 A1 EG A PORKY PRIME CUT ELVIS IS KING B: I - 15 SEEZ 3 B1 EG ON THIS SIDE TOO A PORKY PRIME CUT TOO Had regular Island black l/h inner sleeve



bobzyeruncle 4th Oct 2013		My copy has the matt finish B&W photo on the front and a pink back. Pressed on absolutely hideous noisy recycled vinyl. (Orlake again!)



Bodston SUBS 26th Sep 2013		Initial copies (10,000) had a shiny laminated sleeve, black and white front picture and a yellow back. 2nd generation sleeves were matt with the black and white picture but with various colours on the back, yellow, green, pink, blue, orange, beige etc.. For the second pressing the cover photo turned pale green and the back matched it.
