Elvis - 30 Years Ago Today, RIP

"Elvis,Jesus and Coca Cola"

Wow. I hate all 3.

American culture must be better than that!!!!

FWIW,

Being the audio kook that I am, at Graceland, I tried to identify the components in Elvis's audio systems.

I saw two systems, 1 in his "TV" room and one in the lounge in the racquetball building which I think is where he was found dead.

Not sure what brand they were from a distance. The rig in the racquetball/lounge building looked like Crown separates perhaps? Anybody know for sure?

Couldn't identify the speakers.

Elvis had some nice gear for the time, but nothing earth shattering compared to what a lot of us have these days.

He also had some nice vintage bookshelf speakers located throughout his jet.

Yes, I'd say Elvis qualified as an audiophile in his day, so we should probably give him some love here for that....

That is cool that you took note of the audio systems Elvis had when visiting Graceland. I have never been there yet,but I will hae to look myself. It is not surprising that he had some good systems (for that time period).
