Notes:

On page 133 of Sean O'Neal's "Elvis Presley Memorabilia" is a June 9, 1954 receipt for a two-sided acetate from the "Memphis Recording Service." The caption claims it's possibly for "That's All Right Mamma / Blue Moon of Kentucky", but that's impossible because Presley didn't cut the tunes until a month later. Looking closely at this June, 1954 two-sided acetate receipt, it is clear 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. Especially if combining the receipt with Sean O'Neal's revealing interview with www.epgold.com. "Elvis Presley Memorabilia" is available on Sean O'Neal's www.elvispresleyblvd.com. 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.


Thanks to Johnny Savage for the detective work!
