Record Condition: OK (a few recurring crackles)Review: Make all of the snide remarks you want about the man who has done everything (I walked into that one) and been just about everywhere, but this guy can flat write a love song. This is one of those eternal classics, including "Your Song," "Border Song," and some amazingly arranged tracks to which I had no previous exposure. Don't miss the almost Van Morrison-like "The King Must Die," an interesting song, a great example of Elton's chops on the keys and vocally, and an example of why Chris Martin could only dream of being like Sir Elton, no matter how many songs like this he rips off. Not for everyone, but I give a 9 out of 10 for well-crafted, recorded, performed, and gripping music. Soulful.
