'Hard Headed Woman' from King Creole
After a bit of research regarding the cut production numbers, David English came across these images which are of Elvis performing the deleted (last few seconds excepted) ...'Hard Headed Woman' from King Creole. The guitar which Danny picks up at the start of the following number 'King Creole' can be seen next to Gordon Stoker. The other note is Elvis's shirt which dosn't have the stripes down the side (seen in the 'New Orleans' number) More confirmation that the song was filmed and then it seems to have been cut for reasons unknown.
Scene 130/131 'Hard Headed Woman'
Date : Wednesday 5th of February 1958.
Asked why the song was cut from the movie, Scotty Moore answered ,'It might have had something to do with the royalties paid out to the songwriter. They (Colonel Parker and Freddy Bienstock) came down hard on the writers (with respect to the royalties that were paid out). Gordon Stoker : The studio would have had to pay more money if they used it.They can use so many bars and it doesn't cost anything.That was the reason.

Must Have Book
David English who complied the King Creole photo pages found in our photo section had this to say about the book, 'I have the new King Creole book in my hands right now. It really is superb, most of the photo's I have never seen before'. 'The first section deals with the Recording Sessions, which puts my topic found in the picture section largely redundant. The second section has photo's by song alongside behind the scenes.
The highlight has shots from the deleted number 'Danny'.
Do yourself a favor, buy the King Creole Hardcover Book + Soundtrack CD.

Recommended Books
For photos of Elvis in Paris we can highly recommend the book Elvis a Paris.
A Date With Elvis - Army Days Revisited - Essential. The book is in both English and German which enhances the book and it Being about Elvis in Germany. Filled with 900 rare and previously unpublished photos, original news stories, interviews and pictures of memorabilia over 240 pages, this book is highly recommended . Also Includes the text of interviews such as Graceland 1960, Pat Hernon, Elvis Sails etc. Unbelievable, fascinating, just brilliant! What more could I say? A Date With Elvis - Army Days Revisited is a 'must have'! ~ Ger Rijff
Private Presley: The Missing Years - Elvis in Germany - By Andreas SchrÖer, traces the story of Elvis' two years in the army: the trauma of his mother's death just three weeks before he left for Germany; the media circus of his arrival and the constant attention of the press during his stay; his first experiments with drugs; the girls with whom he was and was not involved; his early encounters with his future wife, Priscilla, who was just fourteen when they met; and his triumphant return to America.
