Industry girds to meet mounting Presley demand in U.K. & Europe
Billboard
Extract:
One unexpectedly low-key aspect of the whole "Elvis explosion" was the attitude of the normally exuberant Stiff Records' new wave organization. It was decided to keep a low profile on the company's new hit artist, Elvis Costello. It was felt that any action could be misunderstood by the media as a Presley cash-in, but reports that Costello would now change his "assumed" first name were strongly denied.
