Elvis' Greatest Shit

Elvis' Greatest Shit is a bootleg recording of Elvis Presley, released in July 1982. It assembles a number of studio recordings, live recordings, and outtakes intended to represent the worst recordings that Presley made in his career.

The disc was assembled by a bootlegger known simply as "Richard", who thought some fans were overenthusiastic to the point of deification, and wanted to show that Presley, like most other artists, could not produce exclusively critically acclaimed work throughout his lengthy career. and featured a parody of Nipper, the dog in the RCA Victor "His Master's Voice" logo, vomiting into a gramophone, captioned "He Makes Me Sick". • 1961: Blue Hawaii • 1962: Girls! Girls! Girls! • 1963: Fun in Acapulco • 1964: Roustabout • 1965: Girl Happy • 1966: Double Trouble; Paradise Hawaiian Style • 1967: Clambake; Easy Come, Easy Go • 1968: Speedway; Stay Away, Joe • 1969: The Trouble with Girls At the end of the recording session for "Dominic the Impotent Bull" from Stay Away, Joe, Elvis made his producer Felton Jarvis promise never to release the song outside of the film; Jarvis kept his word, and it was not made available on any record while either of the two was alive. Elvis' Greatest Shit'' was released after both of their deaths, and was the first time that the song was on any record. The song's official title was thus unknown to Richard. It was first officially released in 1994 on the ''Kissin' Cousins/Clambake/Stay Away, Joe'' CD soundtrack compilation, where its official title was revealed as simply "Dominick." There have been four pressings of the album; the album covers vary in detail, as do the disks—different color, design, and words, but the audio material is the same. One version has a white cover and the photo is relegated to the interior. The bootleg vinyl album has since been reissued as a CD. Whatever the format, "It is guaranteed that this CD probably gathers dust on collector's shelves instead of being played—the content makes a strong statement of the 'situation songs' that Elvis had to perform." == Track listing ==

Other works
''Elvis' Greatest Shit does not fully encompass the 1974 spoken word album Having Fun with Elvis on Stage'', which "is still widely considered to be the worst record ever officially released by a major artist," although excerpts from it appear in between songs. It should be noted, however, that neither Elvis, nor RCA Records, sanctioned release of "Having Fun...". It was originally a creation of Tom Parker on his Boxcar Records label. "Richard" followed up ''Elvis' Greatest Shit with The Beatles vs. the Third Reich'', containing a selection of recordings of the group's December 1962 appearance at the Star Club in Hamburg, and The Dark Side of the Moo, a compilation of rare or unreleased tracks by Pink Floyd, before exiting the bootleg industry. == Footnotes ==
