A step down on the spiral staircase. Only 1 love track on this one, with 3 failing. This was my last Eleon album prior to his most recent
release, which CH convinced me to spring for. That one's coming up next. Just realized that will be a 17 year gap that I have not heard a new
Elton John album. The older you get the faster the time goes by. Anyway Elton went back to Chris Thomas producing here after he tried it himself
on the last album. Bernie Taupin says this his least favorite album of all their work together. Elton says that title belongs to Leather
Jackets. Makes me want to go back and compare the two. My copy of Leather Jackets is on vinyl, in a box, in the shed, screaming out to me, play
me, play me. Someday my friend, someday. It doesn't look like the singles from this album had much of a push. Highest charting was in the UK at
#9 and the US was a dismal #55. You can do better than this Elton.
