    Having all these rarities, demos, and B-sides in one place with the visual elements is really something special. The book is just so dense, you're right about coming back to it over and over...

    Éste box set de Elton John, es una maravilla, muchas canciones inéditas salieron a la luz, además de las canciones no famosas que Elton incluyó para los cd's Deep Cuts

    Phil -a box set that you should dip into is the incredible Kathryn Williams -UK’s biggest secret 🤐 song writer! Amazingly beautiful talent who has already released over 10 albums - fits in nicely with Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro! Box set title Anthology-has not been reviewed or unboxed by anyone on YT-she’s very special!

    The earlier b sides are on a release called Rare Masters and is very reasonable in price.
    He also recorded in the late 60s some Nick Drake Demos and they are on TH-cam.
    Robert Fripp considered Elton John as a vocalist around the period of 1970 before In the Wake Of Poseidon was released.
    Some information states he did some demos and auditioned, but that is not clear though.
    Ultimately he was rejected.

    You’re awesome and Elton John is a great song writer without a doubt although what he did with Ozzy ain’t that good 🤷🏻‍♂️

      @@NowSpinningMagazine I appreciate and respect your opinion I honestly thought it was one of Ozzys worst Albums.
      I really think you should do an album review on Ordinary Man! That would be an interesting video idea?!🤷🏻‍♂️
