This album contains Elton and Taupin at their songwriting best, early though this is (1970). Many haunting tracks, including Valerie (correct title 'Episode at Hienton') and Your Song (of course), Take me to the pilot and Border Song. From the era when every track had to be good! Excellent.
My favourite Elton John album of all time, brings back many good memories, it is beautifally ochestrated with excellant tracks, I would recommend it to anyone, a 5* album
I have been an Elton John fan since he started in 1970, and have almost every vinyl, and I am trying to get the best of the vinyl LP's, onto CD so it did't take much arm twisting, when I found Elton's first LP releesed, on CD, I am still looking for a few more, so even though I still have all the vinyl's I bought all them years ago, and don't intend to sell them, they will have to put them in my box with me, the same as his CD's.

Could always take or leave Elton John, but this album is superb, with some real heartfelt ballad-type songs to tug at the heartstrings - no fancy words, just well recommended to anyone!
