I really like some of his stuff - "Secret Agent File" is a great album. (Just steer clear of the reissue, which tacks on some modern Neil Norman tracks)
There's a CD collection of some of his country songs called "Strange Country." Gerry from Devo wrote some uh, interesting liner notes for it.

Yeah I have a japanese best-of CD from the early 90s with loads of tracks and the Goldfinger LP. I also have the In A mexican Bag LP, but the music doesnât live up to the cover, but not bad either.

I like his work on the Live a Little Love a Little sound track.

Thanks for the warning. I will never ever own anything by that person.

Just got the movie and now have all 33. "Edge of Reality" must be my favorite from it.

Weird movie huh? Michelle Carrey didn't really do it for me.

Yeah, pretty weird I guess although it's now some years since I saw it. As for Michele Carey, I seem to recall her as quite nice although she isn't any Ursula Andress (Fun in Acapulco) or Ann-Margret (Viva Las Vegas).

Yeah! That movie (Tickle Me) also has a really great soundtrack as the songs weren't written especially for the movie but picked from Elvis' earlier recording catalogue. I think I might put it on tonight since I'm pretty hangover and need something easy to fall back on.

Haha! Those movies work great for being hung over or trying to fall asleep when still buzzed.
Did you get "This is Elvis"?

No, I already have it on VHS since the 80s and didn't see a need to upgrade it to DVD. I did get "Live a Little, Love a Little", "Girl Happy", "Charro", "Tickle Me", "Stay Away, Joe" and "Kissin' Cousins" to complete my Elvis movie collection.

There DVD has 40 mins extra from the uncut movie. You can see some of it on youtube, or you could a few months ago. If you're a big Elvis fan it's kind a cool because they get more into the scene of his death, and you see more of Graceland how it was in 1979, and more of the upstairs.
