"Third Rate Romance" was written by Howard Russell Smith of the Amazing Rhythm Aces and recorded by the Aces on their ''Stacked Deck'' and ''The South's Greatest Hits'' LPs. It was a Top 15 hit for the Aces in 1975, though not for Jesse Winchester, who recorded it with the Aces backing him the previous year on his third LP, ''Learn to Love It''. It has also been recorded by country artist Johnny Duncan on a self-titled LP and by the Fabulous Poodles on ''Unsuitable''. | "Third Rate Romance" was written by Howard Russell Smith of the Amazing Rhythm Aces and recorded by the Aces on their ''Stacked Deck'' and ''The South's Greatest Hits'' LPs.

Other tidbits: The version of "Lip Service" on Honky Tonk Demos is also known as "Cheap Reward." Honky Tonk itself takes its name from UK DJ Charlie Gilett's Radio London show, for which Elvis recorded the EP in his lean and hungry days. It was also slated to be a prize in a ''New Musical Express'' contest, but Elvis and Jake Riviera [[New Musical Express, January 26, 1980|nixed]] the idea. | Other tidbits: The version of "Lip Service" on ''Honky Tonk Demos'' is also known as "Cheap Reward."
