The Kinks - Everybody s in Show-biz album cover
 Everybody's in Show-Biz is a 1972 double album released by the English rock group The Kinks. The album's first disc features studio recordings, while the second disc documents a two-night Carnegie Hall stand.

Everybody's in Show-Biz is often seen as a transition album for The Kinks, marking the change in Ray Davies' songwriting style towards more theatrical, campy and vaudevellian work, as evidenced by the rock-opera concept albums that followed it. It is also considered by most critics as the end of The Kinks' "golden age".

This album marks one of the first explorations of the trials of rock-star life and the monotony of touring by Ray Davies (these themes would reappear in future releases like The Kinks Present A Soap Opera, Think Visual and the 1987 live album Live: The Road). Davies brings his standard wit and lyrical sharpness to his observations about the excesses of rock stardom, but there is also a cloud of (alcohol soaked) tedium and sorrow over many of these songs, most easily evidenced in the touchingly retrospective "Sitting in my Hotel" and "Celluloid Heroes".

Besides "Celluloid Heroes", probably the album's best-known track, it contains the UK hit single "Supersonic Rocket Ship".
