Description

Justin is joined this week by record collector (and TCBCast Patreon backer) Julius Adame to review Elvis's 1959 compilation "For LP Fans Only" while Gurdip is out. Together, Julius and Justin rediscover how surprisingly cohesive this package, intended to keep demand high while Elvis was overseas in military service, still holds together. They also discuss at length how a younger fan like Juilius got into Elvis's music and vinyl buying/selling/collecting, as he also runs a business, Rock My Soul Records (https://www.instagram.com/rockmysoulrecords/) For Song of the Week, Julius selects "Ask Me," the English adaptation of Domenico Modugno's "Io" (I tip my hat to Tony Plews for his comment on last week's episode remarking on "Io" during the GI Blues discussion!) that Elvis attempted in 1963 and finally nailed down in 1964.  Then, his pick for Justin was "And I Love You So," the Don McLean-penned ballad featured on 1975's "Today" album and throughout Elvis's concert setlists in 75-77. But a closer inspection of the lyrics leads him to a darker, sadder interpretation that some may have not considered.
