I stopped listening to Elton John after 1975’s “Rock Of The Westies” (his rockiest record by far) so gave up on anything following this.
Listening cold on my big B&W headphones cabled to my iPhone via a hi-res Tidal download, this is quite the revelation. If you dislike Elton, this isn’t going to suddenly turn you around, but on first listen it’s a record that will reward greatly on further exposure.
This record was also quite a significant album historically as it was also Bernie Taupin’s last, for a good while anyway. Things went decidedly downhill since then.
DavidIt’s been a fucking ridiculous week! A quick trip to Hastings, a week ago today, where I sat with my father overnight and through part of the next day when he finally lost his battle with life.

DavidThe themes were: Two tracks that you know from the past, but have not played for at least 15 years, And one track that you discover after the session at David’s last week
