"Elvis would kill with his bare hands anyone who said that about himself and his mother or himself and Nick Adams," Sam Phillips 1992 set the record straight.

<p>This podcast - based on my eBook Elvis, Sam Phillips and Sun Records Revisited - picks up where my last Sam Phillips podcast ended. There are a few lines that overlap. I had phoned Sam to talk about a new rumour that Elvis peddled speed at Sun Records, and after he addressed that question Sam himself admitted there was another subject that made him take the call and want to set the record straight. It was not an issue I intended to raise, although it had hit newspapers in America and in Europe, where I am based. But Sam did, and this podcast has his response. </p>
