The album is unique among Elvis Presley's recordings as it does not contain any actual music or songs; it consists entirely of dialogue recorded between numbers. Presley is frequently heard humming or singing "Well ...", which during the actual performances led into songs that have been edited out of the recording. Much of the album consists of him making jokes, although the recording is devoid of any context. Despite the randomness of the audio, from 8:01–11:55 on side A, Presley is captured speaking autobiographically about his early life and his career aspirations before becoming a singer, and his early appearance on "The Steve Allen Show".
