Having now gone through the "Complete Masters" set I got this urge of start collecting pictures from as many of EP's recording session dates as possible, just because I find it interesting to know how Elvis looked during the recording of certain songs. There are obviously many dates still missing, and there are MANY sessions during which no photographs were probably even snapped, so I've settled for shots from the same day, preferably either at arrival to the studio or after the session etc...

Still very much a work in progress but any additions/corrections are obviously welcome, and I'll be making the changes asap.
