RECORD STORE DAY 2020: Elton is releasing a special double vinyl LP for ELTON JOHN for RECORD STORE DAY 2020 on April 18th. Last year Elton released the LIVE FROM MOSCOW 1979 with Ray Cooper for the special RECORD STORE DAY 2019 release. These special record store-only releases are on vinyl only, many of which never see a release in any other format. The 2020 release is a double album release for the 1970 ELTON JOHN album featuring "Your Song" and "Border Song." The first disc is the 2016 remastered album as it was originally released. The second disc features demos and songs that didn't make the album including "Grey Seal" and two versions of "Bad Side of the Moon" and "Rock and Roll Madonna" plus a piano demo of "Sixty Years On" and 7 other rarities. Part of the beauty of these record store vinyl specials is that they are often pressed on high quality 180 gram vinyl and sound superb. For collectors, you may be happy to hear that this vinyl pressing is on transparent purple vinyl! The album also comes with a digital download for the purchaser to access the album digitally free of charge. Here is a bit more about the RECORD STORE DAY 2020 (April 18) release of ELTON JOHN: recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/12259This should be a good one! Remember, these vinyl albums are limited in number and are only available at actual record stores and often have early-forming and long line-ups to get in. Doug

This year's RECORD STORE DAY has been changed from April 18 to June 20.
The decision was made because of the Coronavirus.

RECORD STORE DAY 2020 - August "Drop" - the ELTON JOHN album special release. With the annual RECORD STORE DAY having to change (COVID-19) from one big sales day in April to a modified August, September, and October "drop" each with selected releases, the special 2-disk pink coloured ELTON JOHN album was dropped (put on sale in record stores) August 29, as were a couple of hundred special vinyl releases. It charted at #31 on the UK Vinyl Album Chart this week. The eltonjohn.com store has limited edition options including the original 10 song album on gold vinyl with options including an album poster and album cover t-shirt. It is all in honour of the 50th anniversary of the album's release. Here is hoping that they do the same for TUMBLEWEED CONNECTION and MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER. We'll see soon enough... us-store.eltonjohn.com/?utm_source=UK-store&utm_medium=US-banner&utm_campaign=North%20America%20from%20UK%20storeDoug
