[CD] ELTON JOHN • GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD • U.K. IMPORT

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is the seventh studio album by English singer-songwriter Elton John, first released in 1973 as a double LP. The album has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide and is widely regarded as John's best. Among the 17 tracks, the album contains the hits Candle In The Wind, Bennie and The Jets, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting plus live favorites Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding and Harmony.

It was recorded at the Studio d'enregistrement Michel Magne at the Château d'Hérouville in France after problems recording at the intended location in Jamaica. The move provided John and his band with a great deal of creative inspiration, and an abundance of quality material was produced, leading to the decision to release the work as a double album (LP).

In 2003, the album was inducted into the Grammy™ Hall Of Fame. The album was ranked number 91 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time and number 59 in Channel 4's 2009 list of 100 Greatest Albums. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
