Not a bad album in EJ 70's catalog, IMO.
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.

"whom was DJM ?" jafant-Wiki is your friend.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Jame A DJM labeled disc is a British copy. |
I also have DJMs from France and Japan from the era. I first mentioned it, aside from the pressings, to underscore that Dick James had some real history even before Elton; those mop tops from Liverpool. Had a nice chunk of the publishing. And sold it. I think there was considerable acrimony between EJ and Dick James. Should be a matter of public record. It was a colorful business, with some interesting characters. |
whart-took a peek at your system pics... Buddha definitely approves-especially with the Avant's. Not knowing how old the pics are, I noticed the David Lindley album in the background of one pic. That is one great sounding album. I remember "Mercury Blues" being a huge hit here, in SoCal. My copy gets played now and then. Whats the LP plugged into? My LP goes through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb(reissue) |
