Description
Originally launched in late 1973, the double - album 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' marked the peak of Elton John's unstoppable ascent. Starting from his first hit 'Your Song', he achieved a series of growing artistic and commercial triumphs. After the chart - topping 'Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player' earlier in 1973, this new album was a global sensation, selling over 31 million copies worldwide. With Elton and Bernie Taupin in perfect harmony and a well - primed band, the album hit number one in the USA, UK, Australia, and Canada. It gave us global hits like 'Candle In The Wind', 'Bennie And The Jets', 'Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting', and the title track. In the USA, it stayed at number one for eight weeks and was 1974's best - selling album. What makes this album truly special is that any of its seventeen tracks could have been a hit single. It smoothly transitions from lively rockers to tender ballads, R&B grooves, classic rock 'n' roll, and prog styles, even with a touch of reggae. Side 1 includes 'Funeral For A Friend (Love Lies Bleeding)', 'Candle In The Wind', and 'Bennie And The Jets'. Side 2 features 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', 'This Song Has No Title', and more. Side 3 has 'Sweet Painted Lady', 'The Ballad of Danny Bailey (1909 - 34)', etc. Side 4 contains 'Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'n' Roll)', 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting', and others.
