I couldn't believe it. Look at that hair!

That particular picture doesn't ring any bells. But he must be around 16 or 17 in that one. Interesting to see him with a smile on his face.

In all of the pics I've seen of him when he was in Flip City (when he was 20 or so) he has quite a bit of hair.

It's not from Complicated Shadows, it's from Goerge Gimarc's Punk Diary 1970 - 1979, accompanying an entry about the formation of Rusty with Allan Mayes in Liverpool.

From Q, Oct. 1995

What a great picture - but which one is Elvis?

What a great picture - but which one is Elvis?

Maybe the one in the middle?

[FAVEHOUR]

What a great picture - but which one is Elvis?

I'd guess the one in the rear, center, with the girl to his left...

[History History]

he looks like he's practising the pose for the Trust album cover.

[docinwestchester]

Remember the days when kids wore ties and dresses to a birthday party?

I don't...but it looks like Elvis might.

Norm on F/book says

"Blackmail Corner" photo caption says: "Elvis, by the way, is the beady-eyed brat south-west of the balloons in the centre of the shot."

[Jack of All Parades]

God- I guessed correctly- he was a chubby faced young-un

[SCIENCEFICTIONTWIN]

So this is really the young Declan?

[sulky lad]

If that's chubby faced, someone must have a real problem regarding eating disorders - EC looks like a typical young boy showing off a bit for the camera at a party, rather sweet really !
