Free Music Notes for Elton John

Free Music Review: Elton's First Album Finally Gets The Treatment It Deserves.
Hit: 5 Stars

When Elton John burst onto the American music scene in 1970 with his self titled debut album, it was unlike anything on the scene, and it proved to be what was sorely needed after the breakup of The Beatles earlier in the year. Elton's album combined pure rock with folklore influenced lyrics, gospel stylings, and heavy orchestral arrangements to create an ambitious debut (at least for America - "Empty Sky" had been released in the U.K. the previous year) whose creativity still holds up today.

To commemorate this wonderful album, which surely ranks among the best Elton ever recorded, a wonderfully remastered and repackaged double disc cd has been issued, with an extra bonus disc of demos and rare cuts. The result is nothing short of excellent, as the album sounds better than ever, and the packaging is extremely attractive.

Beginning with the timeless opening chords of "Your Song," a song that has been with Elton every step of his career, it's clear that the sound on this album is lightyears ahead of the 1995 remaster. Each song bursts out of the speakers with a depth of range and volume lacking on previous issues. Paul Buckmaster's lush, haunting string arrangements on songs like "Sixty Years On," "The Greatest Discovery," and "The King Must Die" have never sounded more powerful or enveloping, while Elton's voice and piano resonate so profoundly in the mix it's like he's singing right there with you.

The bonus disc, a collection of demos and outtakes from 1969-1970, give amazing insight into Elton's already blossoming prowess as an artist. These piano / voice demos aren't mere demos. Elton sounds assured, confident and aware of his talents. He even sings the string arrangements, stressing his already vast musical experience. There are three songs - "Thank You, Mama," "All The Way Down To El Paso," and "I'm Going Home" - that are welcome additions. We also get alternate tracks from BBC sessions.

This is an excellent rerelease of a classic album.
