Comment:

My annual birthday mix for my friend Steve, who this year hit the big four-five, hence the Elvis title track. Great FoW b-side, ne'er-to-be-forgotten powerpop by the Kings, a 60s pop run, a pair of 60s duets, a coupla Frenchies and Burt's chorale runs amuck to close side one. Jump and swing lead into rockabilly and country craziness, a quick jaunt round the world for Brazilian nuts, Spanish grease, Japanese cheese, Yiddish schmaltz and French, well, frenchness before Billy brings it all back home. I'm packin' my bags, I'm on my way. Only one artist here is in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, and it's NOT ELVIS' FAULT!
