    Great album, this copy sounds pretty good, but some songs are cut too hot. The title track in particular has some noticeable distortion.

      It's a good double album. Song's are all excellent. Some songs are stronger than others.

        Like most MCA Elton John pressings, this copy sucks. Just so incredibly flat. I'm not even an audiophile and I could tell something was off from the first track.

          Excellent album. Some tracks are not as great as others but there are no dogs. Elton John’s magnum opus.
