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. 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 song Casual Love Affair
was actually first listed as Casual Love
by Jerry Hopkins, the Affair part was added
later for some unknown reason. The song could actually
be Careless Love.
Using this analogy, it may be possible
that the second acetate (I'll Never Stand In
Your Way / It Wouldn't Be The Same Without You)
had been originally incorrectly listed in the first
place as being I'll Never Stand In Your Way /
Casual Love (or Careless Love) by someone hearing
the lyrics "I wasted my love on a careless
romance" (Which is sung twice during the song)
while listening to It Wouldn't Be The Same Without
You, and then mis-remembering the title,
meaning this receipt is in fact fake!.
The receipt is very similar to the
one for I'll Never Stand in Your Way / It Wouldn't
Be the Same Without You, but it hasn't been
verified as being real, and may be fake, as the
price ($8.25) is wrong. It should be $3.98 for both
sides, and not $4.00+ for each side! (See below)
