Album Notes
RARE MASTERS includes rare singles, previously unreleased material, and the long out-of-print FRIENDS soundtrack.
Producers: Caleb Quaye, Steve Brown, Gus Dudgeon.
Compilation producer: Bill Levinson
Includes liner notes by Bernie Taupin and Andrew Sandoval.
In addition to the expected b-sides and previously unreleased outtakes, RARE MASTERS is notable for including in its entirely the soundtrack John and Bernie Taupin wrote in the late-'60s for the British movie FRIENDS. The soundtrack songs are early, unpolished John, but among them is the touching buddy song "Friends," (not the Bette Midler-popularized Buzzy Linhart composition) a minor hit in 1971. Among the many surprises elsewhere on RARE MASTERS is "Rock Me When He's Gone," a gospelly number from 1971 whose raw, stripped-down production emphasizes a feeling that the much better-known "Border Song" only hinted at. A nearly 9-minute-long alternate version of "Madman Across The Water" is similarly raw, and highlights its bluesy lead guitar in a way that John rarely did in those early days. You also get John blasting through the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There" with John Lennon.

Editorial Reviews
...a thoroughly enjoyable reminder of how well Elton John's music has held up... - Rating: B+
