Elton John – Elton John (1970/1996) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

Features the classic hit “Your Song”
Elton John’s 1970 Grammy® nominated masterpiece-the first of his albums to be released in America, remains one of his greatest achievements. The album made the top 10 in both the American and UK charts and introduced the world to one of rock’s greatest songwriters and performers, and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2013.

Empty Sky was followed by Elton John, a more focused and realized record that deservedly became his first hit. John and Bernie Taupin’s songwriting had become more immediate and successful; in particular, John’s music had become sharper and more diverse, rescuing Taupin’s frequently nebulous lyrics. “Take Me to the Pilot” might not make much sense lyrically, but John had the good sense to ground its willfully cryptic words with a catchy blues-based melody. Next to the increased sense of songcraft, the most noticeable change on Elton John is the addition of Paul Buckmaster’s grandiose string arrangements. Buckmaster’s orchestrations are never subtle, but they never overwhelm the vocalist, nor do they make the songs schmaltzy. Instead, they fit the ambitions of John and Taupin, as the instant standard “Your Song” illustrates. Even with the strings and choirs that dominate the sound of the album, John manages to rock out on a fair share of the record. Though there are a couple of underdeveloped songs, Elton John remains one of his best records. [The reissue includes the bonus tracks “Bad Side of the Moon,” “Grey Seal,” and “Rock n Roll Madonna”].
