The King Requests CD?
The King Requests CD?
Does this ring a bell? From Musician's Friend Week in Review.

1977, RCA releases the latest Elvis album The King Requests which consists of taped phone calls Elvis made to a Memphis deli over the years to order sandwiches, pizza, and other snacks for delivery to Graceland … the calls were recorded over a span of 12 years on 37 cassettes by the enterprising deli owner who sold them to RCA for $385,000 … and yes, every call ended with Elvis saying "thang-you-very-much" …
The remastered CD version from 1983 contains some hilarious outtakes including the time Elvis called and couldn’t remember what he wanted, or the time E called three times in five minutes with the exact same order …
it was deleted shortly afterwards following EPE ordering a lawsuit.
