Elvis top books: number four
Elvis In His Own Words by Mick Farren and Pearce Marchbank, Omnibus, 1977
A quickie post-death book of real quality. Lots and lots of black and white photographs, arranged and displayed by one of Britain’s best graphic designers and annotated by one of Britain’s best music journalists. The rest is just what it says in the title — Elvis’ very few interviews arranged in chronological order to produce something like a mini-autobiography.
And now today's picture of Elvis . . . in a Crouch End window display. The King lives in Nappy Valley!
RIP Mick Farren who died earlier this year, just off Charing Cross Road, having collapsing onstage while playing with his final bunch of Deviants.
Next A train to Memphis. Not the night one but the last one.
