5.0 out of 5 stars Go for the U.S Version, 28 Mar 2007

By	S. W. Ladd - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although the U.K. release has its merits I'd strongly recommend the American version. It includes Don't Go Breaking My Heart, Sacrfice, Island girl and Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds and that alone makes the U.S. release more definitve of Elton at his comercial and artistic peak. Let us hope Amazon begins to stock the North American variant sonner rather than later!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great compilation, 27 Jul 2007

By	S J Buck (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

If you don't already have 'Greatest Hits' or 'The Very Best Of' this is a fine collection to get. Obviously in 18 tracks you are not going to be able to cover all the great songs (or even a small percentage) Elton John and Bernie Taupin have written over the last 38 years.

I would change a few tracks myself. 'Tiny Dancer' was never a single in the UK. Although liked by fans (and me), as was shown at the recent Diana concert it isn't known by the majority of people and went down like a lead balloon. I would have replaced it with 'Border Song' another early classic.

Its nice to see a few tracks from two of his recent albums. 'I Want Love' from Songs from the West Coast, and 'Tinderbox' from The Captain and the Kid. Both really catchy singles off respectively the two best albums he has made since the 1970's probably.

This is also a fine way to introduce yourself to one of the UK's finest ever popular songwriting teams. John/Taupin are up there with Lennon/McCartney. So if you haven't bothered to listen to Elton up to now this is a good place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars 60 and still going strong, 26 Mar 2007

By	Mr. N. Stanton "my-first-telescope.com" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first started collecting Elton John music when I heard Rocket man back in the 70's. I bought all old ones too, including Tumbleweed and Madman, and then went on to watch in awe as Elton turned into the superstar he still is today.

Every album over the past 40 years (!) is different. This one focuses mainly on the well-known material, but gives a taster of some of the older songs too. It would have been better to have been a double (or triple) CD with a few more songs from the early 70's too. But maybe we'll get that later.

Remember the "Your song" was written in 1969.

So buy this album, and then start to find out about the man who is without doubt the UK's most successful rock star of all time
