Picked it up at a second hand shop in St. Joseph, MI. Pristine condition. This album really got me into Sir Elton about 12 years ago.Always liked him.Grew up with him on the radio.Never owned anything of his until this.Then i became a FAN.

Funny thing,after i got into him, as i'm singing along in the car,i realized just how much of an influence on my singing this guy is. I mean, I'd heard him on the radio probably since i was born. As i was singing along, I'm noticing accents and trills that are identical to what i do. And i didnt really discover him until my mid 30's! Crazy right?

Anyway,i love this album! Levon,Tiny Dancer, Razorface, and Holiday Inn? Killer!

This was one the 8 tracks she bought first. It was a new release at the time. I have it on LP and my IPod. Listened to it and Honky Chateau just last week.
