Album Review: Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (40th Anniversary Edition)

"If you only own one album by The Bitch, this should be it."

More Elton John Elton John




If you only own one album by The Bitch, this should be it. The massive hits (Candle In The Wind, Bennie And The Jets, Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting…) play Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow to Elton John and Bernie Taupin's Dorothy and Toto. This opulent anniversary edition is expanded over four discs to include a vigorous concert from 1973 and a covers EP that ranges from sublime (John Grant) to the execrable (Fall Out Boy), though it would have better if more of the wicked Yellow Brick set were homaged.
