MCA - 2017 (formerly 93135) 1972. This is from the garage sale hoard and is in very g+ condition . I think it is one of his first big commercial success with Madman across the Water and Tumbleweed Connection. All good albums. Not a great fan but cannot help but like the music. Thank God bernie came along....

Elton is a class act. Saw him with Billy Joel when they toured together about 15 yr ago. Quite the showman. Honky Chateau is my most played EJ.

SP 4313 1971 Teaser and the Firecat. Another from the garage sale Hoard. To my delight I found it had my all time favorite cat Stevens song on side 2.

BITTERBLUE.. if you have a system. I mean a real system that likes to pound. Pound it out and you too can be a fan..... if I have to explain......

In 73-74 I was driving from south Florida to Michigan. I had to stop rest stop.. somewhere in Ohio dead tired. I collapsed in the back seat and left the radio on low and tried to fall asleep. Damn. Never heard before,,,, it started up. I had to listen and could not sleep till it was over. WHAT WAS THAT???
Funeral for a Friend. will forever stand out in my mind.

Wow... Is it me or is that just about the most beautiful shade of cobalt blue in a vinyl record? I love the movie and after seeing this post I'll have to seek out and listen to its soundtrack.

Am I the only one who thinks Empty Sky is EJ's best album? Not much of a fan either, but I LOVE that one. And it is never mentioned when his canon is discussed. More pastoral and imaginative in tone and lyrics than pretty much anything else he did, IMO.
