Hi Vinyl Fans,
Elton John is about to release his first solo album in seven years, The Diving Board, on Sept. 24. It is produced by T Bone Burnett.
Now, John has had a massive career with mammoth hits. He’s a big-time icon, who somehow remains sorely under appreciated. His 2006 album The Captain & The Kid, a sequel of sorts to the 1975 masterpiece, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, was stunning, full of rich melodies, poetic lyrics, and assured singing. It showed how timeless Elton John and his longtime collaborator, Bernie Taupin, remain.
I'm counting on the new album to be just as good.
Pre-orders are being taken for a deluxe box set, featuring a specially designed and embossed box that will hold the CD and 180-gram vinyl versions of the album, a DVD of the Capitol Records Studios performances and behind-the-scenes, a case-bound photo book, and an exclusive art print. The cost for this special box set is $159.99.
The two-disc, 180-gram vinyl album sells by itself for $24.99.
Check them out here.
