I had forgotten what perfection was. At least until they went and screwed with it by giving me 3 bonus tracks with this 2004 re-release. It was
fine the way it was meant to be, thank you. I don't give Sir Elton much exposure here. In my top 10 artists of all time list for sure. This is
Eltons second album but I consider it his first. That Empty Sky thing was practice for this gem. Not a song on the original release I don't
love. The bonus tracks are said to be from the same sessions, but I have my doubts. Just a whole different vibe going on with those, on the
negative side. Caleb Quaye is the only player on this album that I know. All others were session people. Then we have Paul Buckmaster taking
care of that orchestra stuff and the legenday Gus Dudgeon producing. It doesn't get any better than this original album for me.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM
