Reviews

  • hooploopsoupgroup's avatar
    got to agree, stinging guitars and heaps of Moog, Arp and other early synth sounds permeate. If you have left some time between plays on this then dig it out or find a minty copy like I did this morning and chuck it on the table. yay

      Elton's pop/rock/glam/prog flamboyant yet heartfelt sprawling masterful magnum opus.
      This set surprises me as to how good it is every time I play it.
      Elton and Bernie at the peak of their creativity.
      A goldmine.
