John, Elton
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

From the cinematic surge of “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” to the aching beauty of the title track, Elton and lyricist Bernie Taupin move with complete command of tone and texture. “Candle in the Wind,” “Bennie and the Jets,” and “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” each highlight different facets of Elton’s artistry—glam-inspired swagger, piano-driven pop innovation, and emotional directness.

The album’s range is matched by its craftsmanship, with lush arrangements and a band operating at full fluency. A cornerstone in Elton John’s catalog and an essential fixture in any comprehensive rock and pop collection.
