Description
ELTON JOHN Jewel Box (Rarities and B-Sides) hails from 2020 and is a SEALED 180 gram 3LP set (crease on back). This gatefold vinyl 3LP-set brings together highlights from the catalog extensive Jewel Box and includes selections of Elton John's much sought-after 1960s and early 1970s demos, never previously released, plus a series of Elton's non-album B-sides. Rarities 1965-1971 – Elton's much sought-after 1960s and early 1970s demos and music that cemented the foundations of the iconic John-Taupin writing partnership. The compelling, previously unreleased, missing piece in his illustrious story. B Sides 1976-2005 – Flipsides, never before compiled together. Those B-Side gems that are now given another chance to sparkle.
Most of the demos were recorded during sessions before Elton was signed to a recording contract or released his first album. Previously unreleased, "Sing Me No Sad Songs" was written and recorded as a band demo in 1969 and is a fascinating first taste of what was to come from Elton and lyricist Bernie Taupin, and one that mentions not one, but two, future smashes in its lyrics - "Sad Songs (Say So Much)" from 1984's Breaking Hearts album and Elton's first UK chart-topping single "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" from 1976. Also included are the first song ever written by Elton and his debut appearance on a record (both "Come Back Baby" - 1965), Elton and Bernie's first composition ("Scarecrow" - 1967), and newly-unearthed piano/vocal demos of some of Elton's most acclaimed songs from his early albums.
