 Elton John
Elton was a heavily sought-after session player between 1968 and 1970, graduating from backing vocalist and keyboard player to lead singer on a series of quickie cover versions that were recorded for Top 40 LP compilation discs - back then, record companies figured it was cheaper to re-record than license.
Elton's regular gang - Taupin, Gudgeon, Quaye, Buckmaster, Brown, etc. - all take their places here, but bass, drum, and guitar players are alternated frequently, and future band members Johnstone, Cooper, Olsson, and Murray - and even Roger Pope and future Yes member/cult favorite Rick Wakeman - all appear.
But Elton doesn't completely bury his talent: "Pinky" is lovely soft rock, "I've Seen The Saucers" is appropriately eerie, "Stinker" is foot-stomping fun, and his energy and the TOP horns almost redeem the by-the-numbers misogyny of "You're So Static." Overall, though, this is only a find for his most devoted fans.
