Well, Elvis was on the cover of one of the Smiths’ singles (I think “Shoplifters Of The World Unite” but I’ll have to check on that). Morrissey did get dolled up as Terence Stamp for the cover of “What Difference Does It Make?” since the Smiths couldn’t get clearance in time to use the original photo…

Or, you know, when the Smiths were around…such a short time, come to think of it…

Ah, thanks! And didn’t he get dolled up (as the British say) to look like Elvis for a cover too? Hmmm…

I am trying and failing to think of The Smiths song that is clearly influenced by this…

Another Elvis double A you’ve missed - ‘Little Sister’ was on this too, though ‘His Latest Flame’ is better known.
