Elton John - Rocket Man - The Definitive Hits [SHM-CD]

All scans included | rar'd 3% recovery

There are countless Elton John greatest hits collections, more probably than there are Elton John hits. There are no less than seven others called Rocket Man, for starters. The marketplace is not exactly crying out for more compilations. So why should you pick up this selection more than any other? Well, for a start I think they get the balance left. Bigger collections contain every chart hit, many of which are frankly forgettable; this cherry picks, leaving out embarrassments like Nikita and allowing itself to be weighted heavily in favour of early songs.

In 43 or so years in the business John, and lyricist Bernie Taupin,have reflected the changing musical fashions (from the quasi-calypso of Daniel to the early '70s glam flirtation with science fiction imagery in Rocket Man, to late '80s stadium rock of Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me) while continuing to deliver heartfelt ballads with sweet tunes irrespective of what was in vogue. And this collection contains all the well known ones: Your Song, Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, and the wonderful rolling chorus on Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues. These songs display John's continuing ability to appear vulnerable and Taupin's skill at describing the uncertainty of love in everyday language.

The songs contained on this particular disc are quite different (some not the same, some in different order) than any other bearing the same title (and there are several, I've checked). I assume its something arranged between Universal International and who ever holds the rights on the music at the present time (a guess might be EJ). I have no personal views on the tonality of this cd as I havent had the time to enjoy it yet, so let me know what you think!
