Like the days before Elvis went to American again, but he went early this day because he wanted to meet Roy Hamilton, who was working there too.

Elvis returned to Memphis without ever setting foot in the studio,
leaving Felton Jarvis to complete overdubs on the material recorded at Graceland in October
