Footnotes
"This shot was originally done for 'Armed Forces', Elvis' third album...the photo was used 70ft high outside the Dominion Theatre, and also as a poster to promote the LP. Unbeknown to me, I'd written to him just as he was looking for a 'Greatest Hits' cover photograph, and he thought this one would be perfect. As they chose to change the colour of his first album cover periodically, I thought I'd reflect that concept in this triptych."
