Product Description

Product Description

ELTON JOHN Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1995 German Classic Years issue 17-track CD album originally released in 1973 including the singles Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting Candle In The Wind and Bennie and the Jets comes with the extensive picture / lyric sleeve)

Amazon.co.uk

Even those who customarily dismiss Elton John as a somewhat bland and sentimental balladeer would find much to admire in Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, the best album he has ever made. The track listing reads like an early Greatest Hits collection; it contains not only the original version of "Candle In The Wind" but such raucous and gleeful songs as "Bennie And The Jets", "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" and "Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'n' Roll)". From the impassioned opening medley of "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" to the gentle closer, "Harmony", there are few duff moments among these 17 tracks. "All The Young Girls Love Alice" is a savage but wry tale of lesbian exploitation, and the title song is just short of lovely. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is both a joy for fans and a genuine surprise for the uninitiated. --David Bennun

5.0 out of 5 starsElton's Versitility Shines
By Jervis VINE VOICE on 13 April 2007
Format: Audio CD
While it is possible to argue that there are perhaps a couple of Elton John albums which may rival (or even better) 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' in terms of song quality, there aren't any that have managed to match it in stylistic range. In other words 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' successfully manages to encompass every facet of Elton's musical styles in a double album package that is sharp and bright in tone with enough variety to never seem boring. It also makes a strong case against those who feel Elton's forte is in being a bland balladeer.
Rock 'n' roll - ' Your Sister Can't Twist ..', 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting', reggae - 'Jamaica Jerk Off', and soul - 'Bennie And The Jets', sits perfectly alongside Elton's more traditional ballads such as the well known 'Candle In The Wind' and 'Harmony' in an album that works on every level.
Bernie Taupin's lyrics are also varied in terms of theme ranging from his tribute to Marilyn Monroe - 'Candle In The Wind', prostitution - 'Sweet Painted Lady', cowboys - 'Roy Rogers', the film 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' and the unusual, futuristic 'Bennie And The Jets'.
Not every song is prime Elton though - 'Social Disease' and 'All The Girls Love Alice' aren't particularly striking but to be fair they're not exactly bad either.
Versitility is the key to the greatness of 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road', whether musically, lyrically and also in Elton's vocal performance. In fact it's refreshing to hear what a really fine and versitile voice Elton had in his youth and it's an album like this that blows away any hint of the personality driven Elton in more recent years who's forte when he does record tends to be more often than not, boring and overblown ballads.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars40th Anniversary Edition
By Guitar_lover on 25 Mar. 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Unquestionably a five star album, we should all know by now just how good it is. Obviously some of Elton's finest work on the labum, Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is an epic song worthy of inclusion on any classic rock list and this lengthy double album just rolls out great song after great song. Some people claim some tracks on this album are just 'fillers' which is complete nonsense. The album flows beautifully and a particular favourite moment comes when Your Sistser Can't Twist blasts straight into Saturday Night's Alright. Just brilliant.

Anyway, this 40th Anniversary edition has been nicely remastered (and while not in this package the new vinyls also sound fab) and comes beeutifully presented in a VHS kinda sized box, with a glorious hardback book. The CDs and DVD are all in slim card sleeves with nice artwork for each. Great to have the 70s docu on DVD and the Live discs are fantastic. The only downside to the bonus content is the revisited section, most of the covers are distinctively average at best with only John Grant, Imelda May and the Zac Brown Band standing out, struggled to listen to the rest. However the other bonus material on this disc is great concluding with Elton's brilliant version of The Who's Pinball Wizard. All in all a fantastic package commemoration 40 years of a true classic album.

5.0 out of 5 stars"...Dogs Of Society Howl..." – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by ELTON JOHN (2014 Universal Single CD Reissue/Bob Ludwig Remaster)
By Mark Barry HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 1 Mar. 2016
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I hesitate to think of the number of times Elton John's 1973 magnum opus "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" has been reissued on CD since 1984 – what is it by now – 6 thousand or 6 million. But all numeric puns aside – this 2014 Universal/Mercury version with a brand new and comprehensive BOB LUDWIG Remaster is way out in front of them all. And I'd argue that the 'single disc' variant at under a fiver is all the audio love you'll ever need...

Fans will know that there's the Deluxe Edition with an Extra Disc of the whole album re-interpreted into modern day duets – and a 5-disc Super Deluxe Variant that gives us previously live shows, the duets set and DVD stuff too. But is all that fluff actually necessary - especially when you have to pay a pretty penny for it? I'd argue no - sometimes less is more. Let's get to the Norma Jeans, Bennie and His Jets and some sociable Fighting on a Saturday Night...

5.0 out of 5 stars'ONE OF 'ELTON'S' GREAT ALBUMS FROM YESTERYEAR'
By rbmusicman/and/movie-fan' TOP 50 REVIEWER on 11 Oct. 2014
Format: Audio CD
I owned this on 'Vinyl' when first released way back in the Seventies, brings back a memory or two in truth.
Since when it became lost, always meant to replace it...now many years on i have.
Of course this was recorded in the comparatively early days of 'Elton's' long and illustrious career.
Because it is a long time since i last heard it i'd forgotten one or two tracks, obviously not the hits which included the 'title' track, 'Benny And The Jets' 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting' and of course the brilliant 'Candle In The Wind' ( the latter of course was much later re-recorded with the lyric's adapted to honour the memory of 'Princess Diana')
Overall this is a very good album 'Elton @ Bernie Taupin ' of course went on to write some fantastic songs which of course has given 'Elton' many, many fantastic 'hit' recordings....he is one of the 'great' survivor's of the 'pop' scene....his stage show and dress code, not to mention the size of some of the 'spectacles' he's worn, these things along with his music is what has defined his success.
The album is filled with many memorable tracks -
01. Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding
02. Candle In The Wind
03. Bennie And The Jets
04. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
05. This Song Has No Title
06. Grey Seal
07. Jamaica Jerk-Off
08. I've Seen That Movie Too
09. Sweet Painted Lady
10. The Ballad Of Danny Bailey (1909-1934)
11. Dirty Little Girl
12. All The Girls Love Alice
13. Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock'n Roll)
14. Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)
15. Roy Rogers
16. Social Disease
17. Harmony
If you like the music and have not got this album in your collection, i'd say...... so worth checking out.
