The beginning of an incredible career! ! !

With this self-titled album the British Elton John international breakthrough. His first hit "Your Song" is almost an evergreen and Elton claimed that he played this song at all his concerts. Is debatable, but not beyond the capabilities of gifted pop pianist. He succeeded in 1970, a huge start, after it had become practically by first appearances in the United States overnight superstar. "Elton John" shows his penchant for melodic ballads, with whom he always ends up hits to date. Anspieltipps except the top 10 hit "Your Song" are John's first US Top 100 single "Border Song" and the incredibly well arranged by Paul Buckmaster "Sixty Years On" and "The King Must Die". Overall, a worthwhile investment, even if in the course of the 70 better albums, such as "Madman Across the Water", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy", followed. Even here, the Briton showed the Glasses-Tick his extraordinary talent. And with the bonus tracks deserve "Elton John" the awarded 5 star all! ! !
