With this album, Elton John started his career. It sounds very atypical, sometimes even all the way to the 60's (the LP was originally released in 1969). Nevertheless, even the Elton John typical sound heard; For example, the really beautiful ballad "Skyline Pigeon", which sounds very much like Elton John. Whoever is interested to explore how did Reg Dwight Elton John, the was placed to the heart of this album. Even otherwise, it is worth buying, but who expected "typical" Elton John sound in the style of "Candle in the Wind" or "Someday out of the blue," so is wrong.
