Transmission
Gay Dad: Cliff Jones (vocals, guitar); Nigel Hoyle (bass); Nicholas Crowe (drums). Additional personnel includes: James Risebero (keyboards). Engineers: Mark Frith,Roger Tebutt, Fulton Dingley. For a basic guitar-bass-drums trio, Gay Dad spices up its music with plenty of alluring extras on TRANSMISSION. While the focus of the band's sound is guitar-based Britpop, they add (with the help of producer Ben Chapman) plenty of zippy synth lines and electronic effects that not only fill out the sound but expand it to reach a level beyond that of their ostensible peers. Nevertheless, TRANSMISSION isn't exactly DIG YOUR OWN HOLE; rippling acoustic and bold electric guitars abound, framing ringing vocal harmonies and a bevy of catchy choruses. Most of the album is given over to driving (and driven) rockers, but Gay Dad still finds time for the occasional balladic detour, as on the gentle "All My Life." TRANSMISSION closes on an agreeably left-field note, however, with the trashcan vocals, crazed guitars, and frenzied breakbeats of "Promise of A Miracle" (don't confuse it with the similarly titled Simple Minds tune).

Everything Must Go
Manic Street Preachers: James Dean Bradfield (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, piano); Sean Moore (trumpet, drums, percussion, backgroundvocals); Nicky Wire (bass, background vocals). Additional personnel includes: John Green (Hammond B-3 organ, keyboards). Recorded at Chateau De La Rouge Motte, France. The cathartic album title perfectly reflected not only its contents but the band itself: following the traumatic breakdown and disappearance of Richey Edwards, the other Manics were left to pick up the pieces--it was an extraordinary and unexpected recovery. Perhaps most striking was their new sober image--the make-up, military garb and much of the bravado were gone--and their characteristic disaffection seemed more pertinent and controlled. Despite losing a member, the band had discovered a new voice, delivering a collection of powerful and socially aware songs. Poignantly, Edwards' lyrics graced songs including "Kevin Carter" and "Small Black Flowers . . . ," all delivered in James Dean Bradfield's emotional tones. SKU: 1002271

Man Ain't Made Of Stone, A
Personnel: Randy Travis (vocals); Biff Watson (acoustic guitar); Brent Rowan, Brent Mason, Jerry McPherson (electric guitar); Sonny Garrish, Paul Franklin, (steel guitar); Aubrey Haynie (mandolin, fiddle); The Nashville String Machine (strings); Matt Rollings, Gary Smith (piano, keyboards); Mike Brignardello (bass); Paul Leim (drums); Curtis Young, John Wesley Ryles, Michael Black, Carol Chase, Tabitha Fair, Lisa Silver, Russell Terrell, Cindy Walker (background vocals). Producers: James Stroud, Byron Gallimore, Randy Travis. From "Diggin' Up Bones" to "Look Heart, No Hands," Randy Travis has always had a knack for choosing songs a bit left of center. A MAN AIN'T MADE OF STONE is full of such songs, and they're a welcome change from the ditties that other artists are content to make their stock in trade. The powerful "Once You've Heard the Truth" details that moment in a relationship when all the cards are on the table, while "One Day" describes the pain of rebuilding one's life once an affair ends. Standouts include "The Family Bible and the Farmer's Almanac," the story of a simple man who's discovered the meaning of life in those two books, and "Where Can I Surrender," a brilliantly written song about a love 'em and leave 'em guy who finally wants to make a commitment. The CD also finds Travis stretching the limits of his amazing voice, from his anguished growl on the excellent title track, to his how-low-can-you go deliveryon "A Little Left of Center," to his country-style "rapping" on "I'll Be Right Here Lovin' You." Despite its title, on A MAN AIN'T MADE OF STONE, Travis shows he's the quite the opposite: rock-solid. SKU: 5052788

Parsley Sage Rosemary And Thyme [Remastered]
Personnel includes: Paul Simon (vocals, guitar); Art Garfunkel (vocals). Reissue producer: Bob Irwin. Recorded between December 14, 1965 and December 22, 1966. Originally released on Columbia Records (9363). Includes liner notes by Bud Scoppa. From the opening finely-woven tapestry, "Scarborough Fair/Canticle," to the closing wake-up call, "7 O'Clock News/Silent Night," Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel present a powerful statement--theirs was to be the new standard in contemporary rock. These harmonies were not those of the fun-loving Beach Boys, and these two New Yorkers weren't singing about girls in bikinis. They sang about women who read Emily Dickinson. Intellectual folk-based rock flourished in this classic collection written by the poet-of-the-moment, Paul Simon. The chemistry between Paul's warm, low tenor and Art's high, airy, etheral tenor was an unrivaled mix, creating a precise harmonic exchange that lent itself perfectly to Paul's well-crafted songs. The intricate arrangement of "Scarborough Fair" is one of the prettiest in the band's catalogue. PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME contains songs that have since become part of the American musical lexicon: the multi-layered poetry of "Dangling Conversation," and the emotional ode "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her." Songs like "Patterns" signalledthat there was now an articulate elite that was changing the sound of the musical landscape. The revolution in the streets and campuses was making its way on to radio airwaves and thence into people's homes. But as heavy as they were politically and intellectually, the duo could still offer up an infectious, light-hearted ditty like "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)." SKU: 1063312

Empire Burlesque
Personnel: Bob Dylan (vocals, guitar, harmonica, piano); Madelyn Quebec (vocals); Ron Wood, Syd McGuiness, Mike Campbell, Al Kooper, Stuart Kimball, Ira Ingber, Mick Taylor, Ted Perlman, Mike Campbell (guitar); David Watson (saxophone); Urban Blight Horns, Chops (horns); Benmont Tench (piano, keyboards); Richard Scher, Vince Melamed (synthesizers); John Paris, Robbie Shakespeare, Howie Epstein, Bob Glaub (bass); Anton Fig, Sly Dunbar, Jim Keltner, Don Heffington (drums); Bashiri Johnson (percussion); Carol Dennis, Queen Esther Marrow, Peggi Blu, Debra Byrd (background vocals). One album removed from his so-called "Christian" period, EMPIRE BURLESQUE foreshadowed Bob Dylan's studio modus operandi for the rest of the 1980s. It forsakes cohesive lyrical and sonic visions for the chance to be all things to all Dylan fans, many of whom proclaimed it as his greatest work since BLOOD ON THE TRACKS; thus, grumpy apocalyptic proclamations, statements of absolute faith (physical or spiritual?) andcredos of self-awareness all get equal space. Yet, even as hip-hop producer Arthur Baker's heavily glazed mix makes all these songs digitally shine, the overall feel is of a songwriter committing every thought hastily to tape, lest the thought change shape. And as these thoughts come pouring out of Dylan's head, the choir-like background vocals (some combination of female singers appears on over half the album's tracks) add a dimension of otherworldly testimony to his words. It seemed that, having found the righteousness of The Word, the bard of modern songwriting was now investing all his recordings with such zero-sum fervor. u SKU: 4127874

Pyromania
DefLeppard: Joe Elliot (vocals); Steve "Steamin'" Clark, Phil Collen, Pete Willis (guitar); Rick Savage (bass); Rick Allen (drums). Additional personnel: John Kongos, Booker T. Boffin, Charlie (keyboards); The Leppardettes (background vocals). Recorded at Park Gates Studios, Battle, Sussex, England and Battery Studios, London, England. Although many music fans were convinced that Def Leppard would become hard rock's next big band, few could have predicted the massive across-the-boards success that its third record, 1983's PYROMANIA, achieved. Many wondered why it was taking the group so long to release a follow-up to 1981's HIGH 'N' DRY, but the finished product was well worth the wait. Not only did it become one of the year's best-selling albums and made the band instant U.S. arena headliners, but it has remained a consistent seller ever since (by 1994, it had reached nine million units in the U.S. alone). The songwriting and overall sound was more streamlined and succinct this time around--while there are guitar riffs galore, the songs have more of a pop feel. Founding guitarist Pete Willis left during the recording, replaced by Phil Collen, who fit in perfectly with the band. The album features such mega-hits as "Photograph," "Rock of Ages," and "Foolin'," as well as a couple of other tracks that could have easily been singles as well, "Rock Rock (Till You Drop)" and "Too Late for Love." PYROMANIA remains one of the best and most popular hard-rock recordings of the '80s. SKU: 1006325

Place In The Sun, A
Lit: A. Jay Popoff (vocals, percussion); Jeremy Popoff (guitar, Moog synthesizer, background vocals); Kevin Baldes (bass); Allen Shellenberger (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Larry Williams (saxophone); Gary Grant (trumpet); Jerry Hey, Reggie Young (trombone); Niels Bye Nielsen (Mellotron); Don Gilmore (background vocals). The musical schizophrenia of Lit's independent release, TRIPPING THE LIGHT FANTASTIC, showed promise but never quite hit the mark. Lit's major-label debut, A PLACE IN THE SUN, puts the band right on target. The band has done away with its unfocused genre-hopping and polished its sound into tight power-pop-punk rock. The group's commercial crossover puts it more in the vein of bands such as Green Day and Eve 6, but the band continues to build on its keen lyrical sensibility. The opening track, "Four," mixes humorous lyricswith irresistible vocal harmonies. "Quicksand" has the melodic grace one associates with songwriters like Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson. The dichotomy of "Happy" is clever to say the least, with a perky, up-beat chord progression and lyrics that speak of frustration and the struggle to maintain a positive mindset. A PLACE IN THE SUN serves up its main course with "My Own Worst Enemy." The song's protagonist has woken from a drunken stupor only to find a trail of physical and emotional destruction in his wake. Self-deprecation has rarely been so hilarious and so damn catchy. SKU: 5065832

Then Play On
Fleetwood Mac: Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwin (vocals, guitar); John McVie (bass); Mick Fleetwood (drums). Additional personnel includes: Christine Perfect (background vocals). There were 2 different versions of this LP, each with slightly different tracks. The CD contains all tracks from both versions. Led by singer-guitarist Peter Green, the first version of Fleetwood Mac was one of England's premier bands and possibly the greatest white blues band ever to emerge from the '60s blues revival. 1969's THEN PLAY ON is their best album and Green's pinnacle achievement. Heavily influenced by Otis Rush, Green had an unusually lyrical style for a blues musician, able to draw on flamenco, folk, even classical guitar--all of which make anappearance in the ambitious instrumental coda to his major opus, "Oh Well." Despite the inclusion of superior modern blues songs like "Rattlesnake Shake" and "Show-Biz Blues," THEN PLAY ON is notable for its instrumentals. Standout cuts range from the dream-like voyages "My Dream" and "Underway" to virtuosic three-guitar jams like "Searching For Madge" and "Fighting For Madge," both of which feature Green's inspired guitar work.

If We Fall In Love Tonight
Personnel includes: Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Sting, Sounds Of Blackness. Producers: Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, James Newton Howard, David Foster, Rod Stewart, Bernard Edwards, Andy Taylor, TomDowd, Trevor Horn, Patrick Leonard, Kevin Savigar, Sting, Bryan Adams, David Nicholas. IF WE FALL IN LOVE TONIGHT is a vagabond collection of Rod Stewart love songs. It mixes some of his biggest hits with several new recordings, a couple of remixes, and soundtrack and compilation cuts that appear here on a proper Rod Stewart album for the first time. The new ones include the title song, a hip-hop tinged ballad written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and the heartfelt "For The First Time," helmed by movie-music maker James Newton Howard. While he was recording with Jam and Lewis, Stewart also cut a beautiful cover of Leo Sayer's 1977 pop hit "When I Need You"; with Howard, he re-made Dan Hill's 1977 hit "Sometimes When We Touch." By some cosmic coincidence, Barry Manilow covered the same two songs for his SUMMER OF '78 collection, released one week after IF WE FALL IN LOVE TONIGHT. We'll leave that one to the cosmos to ponder. The remainder of the album features some stellar covers from Stewart's past, including sensitive renderings of Carole King's "So Far Away" and Cat Stevens' "First Cut Is The Deepest," along with such classic Stewart originals as "You're In My Heart" and "Tonight's The Night." The album closes with the super-romantic "All For Love," which Stewart recorded with fellow crooners Bryan Adams and Sting for the THREE MUSKETEERS soundtrack. These are gentle songs that celebrate love and beauty. Worries are brushed away as Stewart's emotive, wispy vocals unfold over gorgeous arrangements. SKU: 1015378

One of America's biggest rock bands of all time, Journey managed to achieve a perfect blend of spirited and soulful AOR that brought them both commercial and critical success. With Steve Perry's blistering vocal range and Neal Schon's colourful shading of sounds, they created an album that was neither understated or overblown. Their songwriting skill as a band was extraordinary, passing quickly from fond balladeering to hard rockin an assured instant. SKU: 4127160

So Much Guitar
Personnel: Wes Montgomery (guitar); Hank Jones (piano); Ron Carter (bass); Lex Humphries (drums); Ray Barretto (congas). Recorded at Plaza Sound Studios, New York, New York on August 4, 1961. Originally released on Riverside (9382). Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews. Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1987, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley,California). While THE INCREDIBLE JAZZ GUITAR OF is perhaps the all-time classic Wes-with-piano-trio recording, SO MUCH GUITAR still has much to offer, including moments of almost vengefully straight-ahead bebop. The standout track is "Something Like Bags," a cooking, mid-tempo minor blues written in tribute to Milt Jackson. After an impeccable Hank Jones solo, Wes stretches out for five choruses, making his trademark build from bluesy bop lines to effortless octaves. Montgomery and Jones get into some hip trading on Neil Hefti's "Repetition;" for sheer virtuosity of blowing, see "Cotton Tail" and Montgomery's one original of this set, "Twisted Blues." "While We're Young" is the obligatory (and gorgeous) unaccompanied guitar solo, "One For My Baby" the blues ballad and "I Wish I Knew" the album's ballad proper. Ron Carter on bass and Lex Humphries on drums round out the rhythm section in classic early '60s style, joined for five tracks by conga player Ray Barretto. SKU: 6397641

Little Miss Dangerous
Personnel: Ted Nugent (vocals, guitar, six string Fender bass, percussion, background vocals); Dave Amato (guitar, Roland guitar synthesizer, background vocals); Pat Leonard, Hawk Wolinski, Larry Dermer (keyboards, synthesizer); Ricky Phillips (bass, background vocals); Jay Ferguson (bass); MichaelMason, Joe Galdo, Duane Hitchings (drums, percussion); Bobby Columby, Robby Weaver, Jamie St. James, Carmine Appice, Sandy Slavin, Douglas Banker (background vocals). Producers: Ted Nugent, Michael Verdick, Pete Solley. Recorded at Channel Recording, Burbank, California between April and July 1985 and at Criteria Recording Studios, Miami, Florida between October and November 1985. Includes liner notes by Garf Graff All tracks have been digitally remastered. 1986's LITTLE MISS DANGEROUS was Ted Nugent's third release for his new record label, Atlantic, after he'd spent almost the entire 1970s and early '80s on Epic. As with his two previous Atlantic releases, 1982's NUGENT and 84's PENETRATOR, the Nuge continues on the same musical path, forgoing his earlier caveman rock in favor of pop-metal. While the album didn't make Terrible Ted the pop-hitmaker that he had hoped (although a cameo appearance on the TV show Miami Vice was a surprise treat for fans), LITTLE MISS DANGEROUS includes the unruly title track, one of Ted's better known '80s songs.

Turn The Dark Off
Personnel: Howie B. (vocals, keyboards, programming); Robbie Robertson (vocals); Jeremy Shaw (guitar, keyboards, sound effects); Jony Rockstar (programming). TURN THE DARK OFF is techno wizard Howie B.'s latest batch of electronic innovations for IslandRecords. A warm, dripping collage of beats and buzzing melodies unfolds smoothly, at a decidely easy pace. Tunes and samples rise out of the mix and situate themselves solidly in your ear, a pleasant change of pace from the cut-and-paste formula of other popular rock-techno acts. Downtempo memories of disco nights fuse with an open-prairie vibe, suggesting nothing so much as Ennio Morricone on acid. Perfect music for the "Charlie's Angels" room of ANY party! Chill or be chilled. SKU: 1011360

Imaginary Day
Pat Metheny Group: Pat Metheny (acoustic & electric guitars, synthesizer); Steve Rodby (cello, acoustic & electric basses); Lyle Mays (piano, keyboards); Paul Wertico (drums). Additional personnel: David Blamires (vocals, acoustic & electric baritone guitars, violin, mellophone, recorder, trumpet); Mark Ledford (vocals, trumpet, flugelhorn, bass trumpet); Mino Cinelu, David Samuels, Glen Velez, Don Alias (percussion). Recorded at Right Track Recording, New York, New York in Spring 1997. IMAGINARY DAY won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance. "Follow Me" was nominated forthe 1999 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. "The Roots Of Coincidence" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. On IMAGINARY DAY the Pat Metheny Group is joined by percussionists Mino Cinelu, David Samuels, Glen Velez, and Don Alias, along with vocalist/trumpeter Mark Ledford and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist David Blamires. The 9 song titles suggest a programmatic journey, from the title cut through "Into the Dream" to "Across the Sky" and "The Awakening." The tunes include exotic Arabic flavorings along with the Brazilian and Western sounds that the band has been using for some time. The album's artwork gives the impression of modern heiroglyphics, not a bad analogy for the music itself. "The Heat of the Day" features some especially inspired ensemble work, with Glen Velez playing an exotic percussion instrument known as the "riq." "The Roots of Coincidence" transforms a Steve Reich-like background figure into, alternately, an 80's Brit-rock beat, a hip-hop groove and an extended fusion guitar jam. SKU: 5047969

Weathered
Creed: Scott Stapp (vocals); Mark Tremonti (guitar, bass); Scott Philips (keyboards, drums). Additional personnel: Bo Taylor (spoken vocals); John Kurzweg (keyboards); Amie Stapp, Tallahassee Boys' Choir (background vocals). Producers: John Kurzweg, Kirk Kelsey, Creed. Engineers: John Kurzweg, Kirk Kelsey, Creed. Recorded at J. Stanley Productions, Ocoee, Florida and Transcontinental Studios, Orlando, Florida. "My Sacrifice" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. Undaunted by the prospect of matching the diamond status of Creed's HUMAN CLAY, the band returned to the studio stripped to a three-piece unit. The album's title speaks volumes of the band's amazing rise to glory and trials of dealing with the critical backlash of seeming overnight success. With no immediate plans to replace founding bassist Brian Marshall (associate member Brett Hestla was busy with his own recording sessions), guitarist Mark Tremonti stepped up and aptly handled bass duties on WEATHERED. Arguably Creed's heaviest song to date, "Bullets" opens with thunderous riffs and Tool-inspired arpeggios. Opening with a mystical Indian chant by Bo Taylor, "Who's Got My Back Now" builds progressively with Zeppelinish dramaticism, owing much to Tremonti and vocalist Scott Stapp's winning collaborative prowess. Longtime producer John Kurzweg took his place behind the controls, dialing in a towering "live" drum sound that sets the tone for the album. Shoe-in singles "My Sacrifice" and "Stand Here With Me" resound much in the spirit of HUMAN CLAY's"Higher," with uplifting, major-key dominant melodies that set Creed apart from their aggro- and doom metal peers. WEATHERED closes with the aptly titled "Lullaby," Creed's most vulnerable acoustic ballad yet. SKU: 1067948

Very Best Of The Grateful Dead, The
Grateful Dead: Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards, organ, congas, percussion); Jerry Garcia (vocals, guitar, pedal steel, piano); Phil Lesh (vocals, guitar, piano, bass); Bob Weir (vocals, guitar); Brent Mydland (vocals, keyboards); Donna Godchaux (vocals); Tom Constanten (piano, keyboards); Bill Kreutzmann (drums, percussion). Producers include: Grateful Dead, Dave Hassinger, Bob Matthews, Betty Cantor, Keith Olsen. Complition producers: James Austin, David Lemieux. Recorded between 1967 & 1987. Includes liner notes by James Austin. All tracks have been remastered using HDCD technology. Even though the two-discWHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN may have more fully anthologized the Grateful Dead's fruitful Warner years, no previous anthology has ever summarized the band's entire career, on through the slim-pickin's mid-1970s to their celebratory late-'80s comeback. In this respect, THE VERY BEST OF... can be called a nearly definitive collection. Still, this is an entry point for the casual passerby, so the psychedelic largesse of the Dead's late-'60s albums is entirely eschewed in favor of the shorter, more concise songs of their folk-rock period ("Uncle John's Band," "Friend of the Devil," etc.). Consequently, this becomes a tribute not to the improvisational warrior Dead but to the creatively songful Dead, even as we hear them age gracefully into the older, wiser "Touch of Gray," which brought them a whole new generation of admirers.

Vertigo [SACD]
Groove Armada: Tom Findlay, Andy Cato. Additional personnel: Gram'ma Funk, M.A.D., Sophie Barker (vocals); Keeling Lee (guitar); Dominic Betmead (scratches). The Kick Horns: Simon C. Clarke (flute, alto & baritone saxophones); Tim Sanders (tenor saxophone); Roddy Lorimer (trumpet, flugelhorn). Like U.K. contemporaries Faze Action, Groove Armada combines a love for classic disco, funk, and hip-hop with accomplished musicianship. Andy Cato and Tom Findlay supplement their breakbeats, samples, and occasional raps and vocals with bass and trombone. Unusually for a member of a dance music outfit, Yorkshireman Cato played in a brass band as a teenager before becoming a successful jazz musician. VERTIGO has a distinctly "Balearic" quality-eclectically influenced and representing styles from ambient house through hip-hop, disco, and house. "I See You Baby" is fun, exuberant disco, while "Pre 63" is moody, loping funk with some great flute and trumpet playing. The hit single "At the River" is a sumptuous chill-out, its ethereal vocal refrain and washes of brass treating you to an Ibiza sunset. "If Everybody Looked the Same" is an irresistible slice of breakbeat house that, alongside Basement Jaxx, serves to remind that interesting things can still be done with house music. VERTIGO deserves the critical acclaim it has received. The album is varied and sophisticated enough to satisfy even the most discerning of dancefloordilettantes. SKU: 1085690

Fox, The [Remastered]
Personnel: Elton John (vocals, piano); Ritchie Zito, Tim Renwick, Steve Lukather (guitar); Micky Raphael (harmonica); Jim Horn (alto saxophone); James Newton Howard (organ, Rhodes, vocoder, synthesizer, programming); David Paich (synthesizer); Dee Murray (bass, background vocals); Reggie McBride (bass); Nigel Olsson, Alvin Taylor (drums); Stephanie Spruill (tambourine, background vocals); Jeff Porcaro (percussion, drum programming); Roger Linn (drum programming); Vanette Gloud, Tamara Matoesian, Bill Champlin, Gary Osbourne, Max Gronenthal, James Gilstrap, John Lehman, Carl Carwell, Roy Galloway, Oren Waters, Ronald Baker, Chuck Cissel, Clarence Ford, Colette Bertrand, Rev. James Cleveland, Cornerstone Baptist Church Choir (background vocals). Recorded at Superbear Studios, Nice, France and Sunset Lounge, Los Angeles, California between August 1979 & March 1980. Like David Bowie, Elton John made himself over in the 1980s from his over-the-top glam-rocker image to one that was less theatrical, more refined, even slick. The music was affected as well, as the '80s saw Elton flirting withdisco, new wave, and several lyricists. He also flirted with danger, dropping some of the more obvious trappings of the Me Decade (the big glasses, for example) but remaining perilously close to its hedonistic excesses. His principal songwriting partners on THE FOX were the sometimes-estranged Bernie Taupin, and Gary Osborne. Production duties fell to Chris Thomas, who produced successful records for cutting-edge bands of the moment like the Pretenders. There's a bit more piano on this record than on some previous releases, such as on the opener, "Breaking Down the Barriers," which barrels forward on the strength of Elton's propulsive keyboard, and "Heart in the Right Place," which has the bite of some of Elton's early angry songs. The disco-tinged "Nobody Wins" did moderately well as a single, but "Chloe" is the stand-out track, a classic Elton ballad which should have been a big hit. SKU: 1085573
