Today, on 12 June in Elvis History

Elvis and June Juanico flew to Houston to pick up the new convertible Elvis had ordered.

Elvis shipped a wallaby, which was given to him as a gift, from Australia to the Memphis Zoo.

Elvis posed for publicity stills for the picture.

Elvis didn't report at the arranged session time of 7:00 p.m. and the band was dismissed at 10:40 p.m. after completing several backing tracks.

Finally Elvis reported to the studio where he spent very little time on the vocals although the songs obviously meant a lot to him; Indescribably Blue, I'll Remember You and If Every Day Was Like Christmas.

Back home in Memphis Elvis spent time at Kang Rhee's studio.

Elvis performed at the Memorial Coliseum, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
