 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Having Fun With Elvis On Stage is the seventh live album by Elvis Presley, released in 1974, notable for containing no actual music. The record was a ploy by his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, to make money off him by releasing an album RCA Records had no rights to, so has none of his songs. Instead, it's a collection of Elvis' inter-song banter compiled from various live concerts, most of it out of context or abruptly Cut Short.The release was extremely negatively received, and Elvis himself hated the album and had it withdrawn. Therefore, the original release on Parker's Boxcar Records label is very rare. RCA themselves would reissue the album anyway after Elvis' death, where it would make the Billboard 200, proving that there's somewhat of a market in Bile Fascination. Understandably, it's never been rereleased otherwise.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It received the #1 ranking among the albums listed in the 1991 book The Worst Rock n' Roll Records of All Time (edging out Metal Machine Music and Self Portrait).

 Album Filler: A prime example. The whole record just sounds as if someone just listened to a series of concerts, cut out all the songs and just threw all the boring banter with the audience together. The majority aren't even jokes. For instance, there is a monologue where Elvis tells an anecdote about his early career without any punch-line to it. Most of the time we hear him just tune his instruments, try out the microphone and announcing songs that are never heard. The overexcited crowd interrupts him a lot, whereupon he tells them to be patient or hands them out kisses or scarves, which is charming, perhaps, but not exactly amusing in its own right. But the most atrocious part about this album is its repetitiveness. We often hear Elvis say the same kind of comments and jokes to the crowd over and over again.
