The return trip to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road


Recently a new series of editions of the classic Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album by Elton John came out in variety of formats.

Many people feel it has the highest proportion of his finest songs on a single album and they include Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, Bennie and The Jets, Candle in the Wind  apart from the title track.

I already own the MFSL gold cd which was the first to put it on a single disc which is widely regarded as the best digital format release of it.


One reason I'm interested in is the extras rather than the remastered original album which include remakes by today's artists like Ed Sheeran and The Band Perry to whom I like but also such extras as demo versions, a 5.1 surround sound mix on dvd and the whole of the Hammersmith Odeon concert  from that year which the BBC broadcast.
This is something I'm looking forward to getting.
