Latest bin find.....Elton John


I found an unusually clean copy of EJ's second album, simply titled "Elton John"

This replaced my okay copy. Just when you've written off certain albums off as unobtanium(condition/cost) a minty copy awaits with persistence!

This Uni domestic press sounds fantastic. Perhaps it's just because it so clean/unmolested.
Ive never heard a Britsh press. Faves include "Take me to the Pilot" ""Sixty Years On" and "Border Song"

I lost interest after "Goodbye YBR" but always keep EJ as a "Hall of Fame" kinda performer.

Yep, his early albums are great. I especially like "Tumbleweed Connection." The UK DJMs of these early records, including "Madman" sound very nice, but condition is always an issue. You know who Dick James (DJM) was? Interesting history if you look him up. I too lost the thread during the Yellow Brick Road era. 
Same here for me re EJ...not much interest after YBR.  The sonics and arrangements on several tracks from his S/T 2nd are remarkable; i.e., tracks 5 & 6, First Episode & Sixty Years On  - but esp., Sixty Years On.  

Congrats on finding a gem, TJ.
