ELTON JOHN

Elton John’s breakthrough album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, will be getting a special re-issue this March 25th, 2014.
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road spent eight weeks at No.1 and went platinum seven times over in the U.S., thanks to the Marilyn Monroe song, “Candle in the Wind”, dynamite “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting”, and the c-c-c-catchy “Bennie and the Jets”.



I already own the 30th Anniversary Edition of this record on Double CD + DVD set, and I thought that was the ultimate collection… but clearly I am wrong because this upcoming release is really the grandmaster ultimate edition.



The upcoming 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road will be available in a variety of formats – including that new so-called “HD Pure Audio Blu-Ray”, which we just previously reviewed the new format.



It sounds really expensive, so I may have to sit out on this new box set of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (even though that 100-page book sounds so cool).



Collectors! Here is a complete list of formats for Goodbye Yellow Brick Road:


1. 1-CD set: 2014 CD remaster of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering from the original analogue tapes. Digital equivalent editions: Remaster, Mastered For iTunes, HD Edition

2. 2-CD set: 2014 CD remaster of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road as above, 9 cover versions, best of Live At Hammersmith CD Digital equivalent editions: Remaster, Mastered For iTunes

3. Five Disc CD/DVD box set: containing standard album, 9 cover version disc, single B-sides and bonus tracks, complete “Live At Hammersmith” CD, DVD of Bryan Forbes’ 1973 film Elton John And Bernie Taupin Say Goodbye To Norma Jean and Other Things, and 100-page illustrated hardback book packed with rare photos, memorabilia and a new essay containing interviews with Elton John and Bernie Taupin). Digital editions for audio: Remaster, Mastered For iTunes

4. Standard 12” vinyl album. Mastered for vinyl by Doug Sax and Robert Hadley at The Mastering Lab, California. 180-gram audiophile quality vinyl with download card

5. Limited edition yellow vinyl available from store.eltonjohn.com

6. HD Pure Audio Blu-Ray album


Elton John is doing a ton of concert dates, but the one that I noticed right away is a long residency in Las Vegas at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from 03/29/14 to 04/26/14. Don’t live in Las Vegas, but still want to see the Rocket Man live? No problem! For two nights only in the U.S. on March 18 and March 26, 2014, CinemaLive.com, in association with Rocket Music Entertainment Group, Yamaha Entertainment Group of America and Universal Music Group will release a full concert in over 1,200 cinemas worldwide in over 40 countries.
