Album Notes
Initial pressings of this first edition contain a bonus disc.
Recorded between 1970 & 2002. Includes liner notes by Paul Gambaccini.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
A career-spanning, 34-track compilation, GREATEST HITS 1970-2002 is a chronological stroll from early hits like "Your Song" and "Crocodile Rock" to soundtrack ballads like "Can You Feel the Love Tonight."
The two-disc U.K. edition features four songs not found on the American release.
Here you go, Elton fans--a definitive two-disc collection of some of the bespectacled one's most beloved tunes. The full gamut of Elton John's stellar career is covered here. The archetypal singer-songwriter introspection of "Your Song" kicks things off, giving way in short order to the more glam pop moments of "Honky Cat" and "Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting." The Roy Orbison-like ballad "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and the moving, mournful "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word" represent the sadder side of the usually sunny popster. The second disc digs into Elton's later work, coming up with such gems as the surprisingly rocking "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That" and the Beatleseque "I Want Love," the latter proving that the 21st century found Elton still standing, in artistic terms.
Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - ...An impressive record by anyone's standards...
Uncut (01/01/2003)
3 out of 5 - ...This reappraisal is wisely timed....He was a phenomenally talented barroom piano basher, capable of tender love, majestic showstoppers and poignant soul-searching...
Q (12/01/2002)
4 stars out of 5 - 'Your Song' and 'Daniel' are especially beautiful.
