Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This newly remastered reissue of one of Elton's classic LPs (featuring complete packaging with detailed sleeve notes) sports 3 bonus tracks: "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "One Day at a Time" and "Philadelphia Freedom."

Amazon.com

Elton John has always liked having it both ways. He's flamboyant and vain, yet empathetic and sincere. He sits at his piano playing sentimental melodies, but the words come not from inside his soul but from friend Bernie Taupin. For Captain Fantastic, he and Taupin wrote a concept album which sketches their career together. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is easily the strongest song outside of the concept. The addition of several songs "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" featuring John Lennon, "Philadelphia Freedom," and "One Day at a Time" blow the concept but up the entertainment value considerably. --Rob O'Connor

11th & Most Beloved Birthday Present of My Life
5 Stars
11th & Most Beloved Birthday Present of My Life
The best album of my lifetime. I got this on my 11th Birthday & after that, my love for Elton & Bernie never changed, never dissipated. I used to listen to this on my little kid record player & burned through 3 vinyl copies, until it came out on CD. It makes me run the gamut of emotion, as this is the best Elton/Bernie album, starting me with big smiles & by “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” brought heavy sobbing. It’s raw emotion from these two geniuses, the Captain & the Kid.

Es uno de mis álbumes musicales favoritos, lo considero como uno de los mejores álbumes de Elton John, Captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy.
Me gusta todos las pistas de este álbum como Bitter fingers, someone saved my life tonigth, better off dead, we all fall in love sometimes, curtains y Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Es conclusión, me llego en perfecto estado y a tiempo, tiene las letras de las canciones también, lo recomiendo si eres un fan de Elton John 👏👏💯
