Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during a difficult period when Elton John was suffering from severe vocal cord issues that required surgery shortly after the tour. Despite the raspy vocal performance, the majestic orchestral arrangements breathe new life into his expansive 1970s catalog, making it a poignant historical document.
