He had suitcases of unused Elvis pics stashed under his bed as he'd only been required to wire in a certain number to RCA each week from the tour to earn his weekly retainer. Tom Parker, AFAIK, was out of the loop.<br /><br />Only when Elvis died did he realise he was literally sleeping on a goldmine. I negotiated with him to use some pics in a artwork I edited, the History of Rock. He was shrewd, but friendly to a naive young Limey.<br /><br />RIP Alfred.Michael Heatleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635099771939860168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-74325908569445545762014-10-22T22:57:29.215+01:002014-10-22T22:57:29.215+01:00Zig-Zag magazine published a fabulous picture of B...Zig-Zag magazine published a fabulous picture of Billy Idol playing darts with John Walters just before/after their first Peel session at Maida Vale.
