It makes sense that a transition album by the Kinks wouldn't be a run-of-the-mill transition album. This artifact from 1972 originally came out on two LPs, the first consisting of new studio material (highlighted by the sublime "Celluloid Heroes" and "Sitting in My Hotel") and the second documenting a two-night Carnegie Hall stand. The live selections are representative of the sodden sets the Kinks were notorious for at the time. Ray Davis is in good humor ("My name's Johnny Cash; nice to see y'all"), and a seedy four-man horn section nicely juices up "Alcohol," which surpasses its studio predecessor. As the follow-up to the popular Muswell Hillbillies, Showbiz didn't wow fans and critics when it arrived, but it now stands as a tellingly haphazard venture from a group that just wasn't cut out for straight-to-the-top stardom. --Steven Stolder --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Davies in Vaudeville.......2007-07-08
This was originally released in '72 as a double-LP, one disc featuring new studio material and the other a live set from a two-night Carnegie Hall stand. Everybody's in Show-Biz is a vaudevillian music hall mish-mash of variable attraction, but also features sublime tunes such as "Celluloid Heroes" and "Sitting In My Hotel". The overriding vibe seems to be one of either blissful or resigned insobriety, but still highlights frontman Ray Davies' unique stage persona.

An Uneven Album featuring a couple of Kinks Classics!.......2006-04-30
This album was originally released a double studio/live set.
If you don`t like trumpets of horns in general, this probably won`t be your favourite Kinks album. Around 1971-74 the horn section was more or less a permanent part of the Kinks line-up.
Musically there is absolutely a lot to go for here. Especially the studio-half of the album has its outstanding moment. The classic "Celluloid Heroes", one Ray Davies` greatest compositions, does not need further presentation.
"Sitting in My Hotel" is another great song; actually more or less a sequel to "All of my Friends Were There" from "The Village Green Preservation".
The single "Supersonic Rocket Ship" is catchy and quite amusing.
A Kinks U.S. Tour video-documentary was in the plans early 1972, and several songs has a life-on-the-road theme in the lyrics. There is a degree of disillusion to the lyrics, and a few songs may appear a little uninspired.
Musically most songs are not far from the sound and style of the previous album "Muswell Hillbillies", but apart from the 3-4 strongest songs, the album is generally slightly weaker.
Logically the documentary that never was, had to cover the Kinks` live act, which was quite different from early Kinks, and also from latter year Kinks. There obviously was a quite relaxed atmosphere, at times tending towards the sloppy, at the Kinks` live show in those days. Several jazzy standards were included in the show and Ray Davies seemed to enjoy the role of an entertained more than being a traditional rock-star. With the brass-section dominating most tracks, the album is very different to their next and highly successful live album "One For the Road". This live set is an interesting document and at times quite amusing, but for me the studio half is by far the most important.
An uneven affair with a couple of really great moments.
Who Cares If The Liquor Flowed?? Life On The Road And It's Discomforts and Insights.......2005-08-22
At least the the live half of the CD At Carnegie Hall has feeling...It is pretty clear the Kinks were having a ball and so were the audience listening to the classics of the highly regarded Muswell Hillbilly album whose songs were an insightful view of mental stability in the 20th century...Alcohol,Paranooia etc. all included..The Muswell studio CD is indeed a classic and worth it's weight in gold,these live performances were originally the 2nd LP of the album and the CD presented here is one great long affair, half studio half live and it all flows together well.
The opening half is a collection of top rate songs chronicling Life and it's problems on and off the road.Celluloid Heroes,Sitting In My Hotel,Supersonic Rocket Ship all rate as some of the Kinks most finese moments laid down in the studio..An added bonus are the bonus tracks, additional live songs of the same performance not on the vinyl release.
First Kinks album I ever bought..........2004-10-27
Thirty years ago this was the first Kinks album I ever bought. It was love at first listen. A 2-record set, one live and one studio. It's great that it can all fit onto one CD. The studio album includes the classic "Celluloid Heroes" and my favorite "Sitting In My Hotel" in which Ray reflects about what all his friends would think he was trying to prove "riding in his chauffeur driven jam jar dressed in satin strides and two-tone daisy roots". Every other song is fantastic with much of Ray's sardonic wit and his keen insights into, well, mostly food. Then it gets even better. The live album is a blast. It includes great versions of "Top Of The Pops, Acute Schizohenia Paranoia Blues, Muswell Hillbilly, Alcohol, Lola and Till The End Of The Day" plus covers of the "Banana Boat Song and Baby Face". 23 songs in all. In addition you get great liner notes and quotes from each of the band members (separately of course). Plus two bonus tracks that weren't on the album. I am willing to bet that huge amounts of alcohol and junk food were consumed in the making of this gem.
You had to be there..........2004-05-22
Of the thundering herd, only three English musical groups lasted well after the early sixties British invasion: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and the Kinks. Unlike the other two, however, the Kinks were just teenagers when they tasted their first successs with "You Really Got Me" and "Stop Your Sobbing".
Raymond Douglas Davies and his entourage produced great music at a phenomenal rate without the sort of promotional and theatrical nonsense that seemed to plague the other two acts. The bottom line is, what the Kinks were doing musically was more sophisticated than their counterparts. That's why they were able to survive.
This CD is a highlight of what would become a prelude to the last great pinnacle of working years for the Kinks. To someone who may be unfamiliar with that era of rock (from about 1971 - 1973), the music on this CD may sound like an average collection of songs that were thrown together for quick consumption. Not so.
This CD serves as a historical benchmark for the Kinks and shows how the band changed from their "Kinkdom" days of two guitars (or one), a bass guitar and drums to something else, entirely. The music is good, and if you can read between the lines, there's a lot of humor here.
This is a fun album; These are the Kinks going through a phase that highlighted their showmanship, with Davies throwing in a lot on unpredictable antics for good measure. Sometimes in concert, Ray would throw a case of beer out into the audience during "Alcohol", which of course, made the crowd go nuts.
"Everybody's In Showbiz" is one of the Kink's best, but because of the evolving nature of the band, is not necessarily representative of the majority of the Kink's work. It does, however, stand out very well.
EVERBODY'S IN SHOWBIZ.......2004-03-21
Though most people give this one ****.I give it *****.It is truly excellent.It was one of the very first kinks cd's I ever bought.And I still love very much.Contrary to what some people believe I think the studio album on here is their 4 best one of all time.It has some very nice underated tracks.Here Comes Yet Another Day is a road rocker.I just like Hot Potatoes for some reason.I'm not sure why.One of the very best songs on it is Sitting In My Hotel.Not many people like it and it never gets talked about either.I think it's a beautiful piano filled track.With a great beat.Super Sonic Rocket Ship is also a great guitar filled dity about airplanes.Celluloid Heroes is the best known song on the album.And it really does hold it's own.Now on to the live album.It's also very good.I think they do Holiday and Muswell Hillbillies especially good.They also share some other classic well known hits.That you can't get anywhere else but this album.Such as Banana Boat.And thier EXCELLENT jazz filled version of Baby Face.Which is my favorite track that they do on the live part of the album.If you don't already have this get it some where.Remastered version or not.(It only has 2 extra tracks).HIGHLY RECOMENDED!
