”Elvis did not peddle speed at Sun Records.” Sam Phillips to Joe Jackson 1993

<p>Circa 1993, a rumour circulated that Elvis was discovered at Sun Records because he supplied musicians his mother's diet pills - speed - which he was using, it was claimed. To me, the rumours were bs perpetrated by a Britsh rock journalist called Roy Carr, so I phoned Sam and asked him and that. This is from my eBook, Elvis, Sam Phillips and Sun Records Revisited. </p>
