93. Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973) - What If It Was A Single Album?
** 09/09/2024 - Hi. After being down for most of this year, we are making this episode available again. Enjoy **
‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ is the seventh studio album by Elton John. Released in 1973, it was a transatlantic number one, sold over 12M copies, and is widely regarded as John’s greatest work. At 76 minutes in length, it’s a classic seventies double album featuring ‘Candle In The Wind’, ‘Bennie & The Jets’ & ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’. But, would it have been stronger as an under 50 minute single vinyl release?
That’s the task podcast hosts Stephen, Paul & their guest Davie Melon have set themselves. After critiquing the record & creating their own cut, will they agree that releasing it as a double album was the correct decision? Listen now to find out.
