Elton John – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Vinyl

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton John’s seminal 1973 breakthrough album, has been remastered for 2014.

This was the album that created a true superstar. Although he was already known in 1973 due to the growing success of his previous albums- including ‘Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player’, ‘Elton John’ and ‘Honky Chateau’- it was the release of this double album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, that made Elton John a household name. It went on to sell 31 million copies. ‘Goodbye…’ perfectly marries the various elements of Elton’s craft – classic songwriting, glam stomp, R&B, gospel, jaw-dropping performances, soul and a large helping of brilliant showmanship.
