Re: Elvis in Bob Dylan’s new book The Philosophy Of Song

Offhand, apart from The Boy Named If box set and the Almost Blue promo album, everything I own that Elvis and the Attractions/Imposters has signed has been in front of me!

Re: Live recording coming out in 2023?

From those not available via official/unofficial channels what would we like him to put out?

Liverpool Olympia 2020 was a really great gig and nothing listenable has surfaced from it, so would be my choice of 'recentish' shows. But I'd be interested to hear other's 'requests'....

I'd love a simple acoustic guitar and vocals one - however this It would not, either, be an Imposters album.

Thanks very much for these - each illuminating and fun. I'm obviously disappointed that EC 'only' gets 20. Bob got one for each of his years so Elvis is 'owed' another 48! But seriously who's next for the treatment? I appreciate you won't be looking for 'requests' but if you're stuck Richard Thompso...
