Elvis cut two sides (master 0914-A and 0914-B) on Saturday, 6/5, and picked up his acetate dub on Wednesday, 6/9. This documentation is likely for a song like, perhaps, Casual Love Affair. The flipside is likely another slow country ballad with just Elvis on guitar, i.e. not Without You since Elvis paid for the acetate. The receipt is very similar to the one for I’ll Never Stand in Your Way It Wouldn’t Be the Same Without You

Elvis was riding Rising Sun this afternoon, accommodating the fans for autographs. He was wearing a long sleeved, dark brown shirt, brown pants, a turquoise and silver belt, a long red scarf and white boots. Priscilla was also out riding Domino, and GeeGee on Willy. The grounds were full of fans and Mr. Pepper kept blowing his whistle. Elvis laughingly said, “Mr. Pepper’s got that whistle caught in his throat, hasn’t he?” Elvis was in a great mood, laughing, joking acting silly and doing some of his impressions like Glen Campbell and Ray Stephens, saying “Let’s hear it for the monkey – Guitarzan.” Elvis stayed out until after dark. Then he went to the Memphian.

He arrived at the Memphian wearing the same clothes he had been riding in. The first movie was “Sams Whiskey” with a bird named Priscilla. When Angie Dickinson said, “Priscilla died” everyone, including Elvis and Priscilla, busted out laughing. Elvis sang some during the movie, “This time We’re Really Breaking Up”, and someone said “do you believe in magic? And Elvis started singing that song. He also sang “Do You Know The Way to San Jose?” The second movie was “Eye of the Devil”. The evening ended at 3:15 am.

The Rolling Stones became the first artists to receive record royalties from the Soviet Union. Until the country’s copyright laws were changed, the Soviets had made no payment to any artist for work released or used in that country.

During recording sessions for Wish You Were Here at Abbey Road Studios, London, England, Syd Barrett turned up out of the blue as Pink Floyd were listening to playbacks of Shine On You Crazy Diamond — a song that happened to be about Barrett. By that time, the 29-year-old Barrett had shaved off all of his hair (including his eyebrows), become overweight, and his ex-bandmates did not at first recognise him. Barrett eventually left without saying goodbye, and none of the band members ever saw him again.

Elvis performed at the Hofheinz Pavillion in Houston, Tx.
