The self-titled second studio album by English singer-songwriter Elton John was released on 10 April 1970 by DJM Records and by Uni Records in United States.

The album includes John's breakthrough single "Your Song", which reached number 7 in the UK charts and helped to establish his career during what was considered the "singer-songwriter" era of popular music. In the US, it was certified gold in February 1971 by the RIAA. In the same year, it was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. In 2003, the album was ranked number 468 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. On 27 November 2012, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame as an album cited as exhibiting "qualitative or historical significance". 🔘 Side 1: Your Song I Need You to Turn To Take Me to the Pilot No Shoe Strings on Louise First Episode at Hienton 🔘 Side 2: Sixty Years On Border Song The Greatest Discovery The Cage The King Must Die359 views -

The Fabulous Vinyl LifeYou are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality. A Single Man is the twelfth studio album by English musician Elton John. Released in 1978, it is the first album for which Gary Osborne replaced Bernie Taupin as lyricist. It is also the first of two (the second being Victim of Love) John albums that, on the original cut, have no tracks co-written by Taupin. The photo for the front cover was taken in the Long Walk, which is part of Windsor Great Park in Berkshire. The inside cover shows John in a Jaguar XK140 FHC. John stopped wearing his trademark glasses in public for a period during the late 1970s, and the album photo reflects this. In the US, A Single Man was certified gold in October 1978 and platinum in November of the same year by the RIAA. 🔘 Side One: Shine on Through Return to Paradise I Don't Care Big Dipper It Ain't Gonna Be Easy 🔘 Side Two: Part-Time Love Georgia Shooting Star Madness Reverie Song for Guy344 views 1 comment -
