Product description

“The Album That Created A Superstar” - Originally released at the end of 1973, the double album ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ was the crowning moment of an upward trajectory marking the unstoppable rise of Elton John. It gave the world the global smashes ‘Candle In The Wind’, ‘Bennie & The Jets’, ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’, and the soaring title track. The new 40th anniversary edition of this landmark album has been comprehensively remastered and has never sounded better.

GYBR Super Deluxe and then some....

A review of the Super Deluxe Edition...

To some people, Sir Elton John never bettered this double album from 1973-74. For others, it's a patchy album loaded with hits in the first half and full of filler at the end. For me, it's up there with some of the great entertainer's best work and for the life of me can't see where there is ANY filler or sub-par songs. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", from here abbreviated to the acronym GYBR, marked the merging of all the various styles that Elton and Bernie Taupin had been trying out through the earlier years of their song-writing career. They'd had a few hits along the way but this had not been reflected in sales. This album is where it all gels. Perfect melodies, thoughtful & sometimes controversial lyrics, great production with a solid work ethic. The end result is one of the greatest double albums of popular music ever released. That's enough of my praise and opinions about this album. What's in the Super Deluxe Edition and is it worth the coin?

Disc one is the complete double album which fits on one cd. It's been lovingly remastered by Bob Ludwig. Read his name and say no more. You know this is going to sound like it did 40 years ago if not better. All good so far.

Disc two, "Revisited & Beyond". The first nine tracks of this disc are contemporary re-recordings/interpretations. I think this portion depends on a few variables. Do you like the artist responsible for the cover and their style of music? If you you are partial to a bit of The Zac Brown Band, Ed Sheeran, or Emeli Sandé (which I am) you might enjoy these recordings which, if you believe the blurb, Elton picked out himself. For me it's like a box of all-sorts chocolates and what I like others may not and vice versa. The one that stays closest to the original is Imelda May's take on "Your Sister Can't Twist..". All the other tracks have each artists distinct sound and arrangements with what I would kindly call mixed results. The remainder of disc two consists of some demos, single only releases and b-sides. Do not be deceived. There are some mega hits here such as "Philadephia Freedom", Elton's superb cover of The Who's "Pinball Wizard" for the film Tommy as well as the seasonal favourite "Step Into Christmas".

Discs three & four are the sugar for the fans and if you like live Elton as much as I do you're in for a real treat. Live At Hammersmith Odeon December 1973, recorded for and broadcast by the BBC, features nine tracks from the recently released GYBR album and a selection of EJ's hits of the time including Daniel, Rocket Man and a personal favourite of mine Honky Cat. To date there have only been five commercially released live albums and this is one of a handful of recordings featuring the original five piece EJ Band with Davey Johnstone, Nigel Olsson, Ray Cooper and the late great Dee Murray on bass. These two discs are almost worth the price of this set. It's such a joy to hear Elton performing these songs (in their original key) before he almost lost his voice for good at the end of the 80's. The master musicians are on fire as well.

Disc five is a dvd featuring the period documentary "Say Goodbye To Norma Jean And Other Things". It's vintage stuff and for what it is makes for interesting viewing but not what you'd call essential or fascinating. It's also unfortunately been edited and modified for this release (All images and references to John Reid and Elton's mum have been removed). If you're looking for a great doco on how GYBR came to be click here "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Classic Albums [DVD] [2001]". This very informative documentary was a bonus disc in the 30th Anniversary edition "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (+DVD)" with the album on two hybrid SACD's featuring a 5.1 surround sound mix which can also be found here "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" on Blu-ray audio as another part of the 40th Anniversary re-issue series.

If you're a hardcore Elton fan like me and are chasing some rare live stuff this Super Deluxe is what you need. If you are new to this album try the Blu-Ray audio via the link above or the other editions in the 40th Anniversary series "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" single cd, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" 2cd deluxe or you can go old school with "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" on double vinyl. Whatever your format, it's all here.

I could hardly believe it: a friend of mine in his 60s had never heard this album. That's a waste of a life. This album was written, recorded and produced with passion and skill. The songs are inspired. The musicians are at their peak. The tunes are timeless. And the recording quality is superb. Each song is a story filled with vivid images and ear-worm melodies. I could listen to this album every day.

It has been a joy to listen to these melodies and lyrics which are old friends, and as fresh as when I listened to them as a teenager. Now I can enjoy them on cd in my car, singing along or just listening spellbound - such as to 'Song for Guy'.
Ordering was easy, delivery straightforward and punctual, pleasure assured.

One Word: FANTASTIC...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2014

GYBR is one of the best studio double albums of rock history, like Quadrophenia by The Who released in the same year . This super deluxe edition is simply fabulous . The box set is similar to the 40 anniversary edition of Get yer ya- yas out from the Rolling Stones, but a little thinner. The book that accompanies this wonderful edition is superb, with numerous photos of EJ on tour in 1973, including illustrations of the costumes used in the shows. The double live album recorded at the EJ second house Hammersmith Odeon (the first is Madison Square Garden in NY) proof that EJ was much more than a pianist who composed ballads. The band at that time was very sharp and very heavy, see the introduction of the show with an ultra- fast version of Love Lies Bleeding. The old war horses are also present in great shape, as well as several pleasant surprises like Elderberry Wine of previous 1973 album, Dont Shoot Me.... The only negative point of the box is the first half of GYBR Revisited. The first nine tracks on the disc 02 are VERY VERY VERY BAD. The second half contains some interesting surprises, among them, forgotten tracks, singles and demos, the most interesting being the melodic "Screw You" and also the Christmas tracks "Step into Christmas" and "Ho Ho Ho (Who'd be a Turkey at Christmas)". In addition to tracks that are related to the time of classic GYBR, the album brings the 1975 song "Philladelphia Freedom" and the EJ version for the 1974 film Tommy, "Pinball Wizard". But to be clear, the first tracks on cd 2 are horrible (Wale Featuring Miguel - WTF - what it is). The DVD contains the 45 minute documentary "Elton John and Bernie Taupin Say Goodbye To Norma Jean and Other Things" illustrates the folly and growing fame of EJ in distant and crazy '70s . The Documentary is a very beautiful addition to the box , although I prefers the broadcast by the BBC at Christmas 1974 program that was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon that illustrate well the tour of GHBR. Still, this issue is wonderful and definitive.
