This was THE album that was the spark that launched Elton’s career, spawning the evergreen Your Song, which is perhaps still his most loved hit today - the album is still timeless and sounds, in this newly re-mastered form, as emotive and original as ever.The latest Elton John album to receive the ‘Deluxe’ treatment, this exceptional package features a remastered version of the original album with the original track listing on disc one.  Disc two is expanded with 20 tracks, including 15 previously unreleased tracks sourced from various archives and live BBC Sessions. Three tracks - Thank You Mama, All The Way Down to El Paso and I’m Going Home are demos from the sessions that did not make the original album and have never surfaced until now. Many of the bonus tracks are piano demos, giving a fascinating insight into how the songs developed, from conception to the final versions that appeared on the original 1970 album, none more so than the demo of ‘The Greatest Discovery’ where you can hear Elton singing what was to be the string arrangement of the final album version!Features a sumptuous, 28-page booklet with extensive new sleevenotes, period photos and lyrics.Collectively, the two discs paint as complete a picture and you are likely to get of this classic album from inception to completion …. “this one’s for you”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31889847615585,"sku":"0600753055595","price":15.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_334689_jpg.jpg?v=1705447983","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0600753055595-elton-john-deluxe-edition","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
