WHAT IS A JAPAN OBI "MINI/REPLICA-LP-SLEEVE" CD? Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century's great art forms, the 12" vinyl LP jacket? Then "mini-LP-sleeve" CD's may be for you. Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 135MM X 135MM cardboard precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, anything contained in the original LP, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and/or die cuts, are precisely replicated and included. An English-language lyric sheet is always included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics. Then, there's the sonic quality: Mini-sleeves have dedicated remastering (20-Bit, 24-Bit, DSD, K2/K2HD, and/or HDCD), and can often be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks unavailable elsewhere. Each Japan mini-sleeve has an "obi" ("oh-bee"), a removable Japan-language promotional strip. The obi lists the Japan street date of that particular release, the catalog number, the mastering info, and often the original album's release date. Bonus tracks are only listed on the obi, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork. The obi's are collectable, and should not be discarded. All mini-sleeve releases are tremendously limited editions mainly pressed on future orders only and once released immediately out of print. This fact along with other latter features we've mentioned make these titles rare collectibles that sell in the collectors markets for $100's of dollars apiece.

It was the wettest, coldest March on record and the gloom of the long harsh English winter had not yet passed off. These are the inauspicious beginnings for the man who was destined to become one of the most successful and flamboyant musical artists of the modern age. It was his mother who discovered that he was a piano prodigy when she heard him picking out, by ear, "The Skater's Waltz" by Winifred Atwell. John was four years old. It was this amazing talent that led John to win a junior scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music at the age of 11. This meant that, in addition to his regular school, he would be taking classes on Saturdays, in London, at the Academy. It was his mother and step-father, affectionately nicknamed "Derf" by John, who would help him break into music by helping him become a pianist and singer in the local pub at weekends. At the age of 17, John and his friends formed an English R&B group called Bluesology and although the band supported many big name acts on tour (most notably; Patti LaBelle and The Bluebelles and The Isley Brothers) Bluesology wasn't John's doorway to success. In 1967 John answered an ad in the NME that would lead to one of the most important partnership's John would ever form. The Artists and Repertoire manager for Liberty Records, Ray Williams, placed the ad looking for song writers and both John and a young lyricist named Bernie Taupin answered the ad. Taupin wrote the lyrics and John put them to music. The newly formed team didn't stay long at Liberty, quickly moving to rival label, DJM Records. Over the next two years the duo wrote easy-listening songs for many of DJM's biggest artists, but they also wrote more complex music for John to record. John's debut album Empty Sky (1969), was largely ignored, however his second album, Elton John, released just a year later, produced John's first Top 10 hit (in both the US and UK), "Your Song". After the release of his second album John had his first American concert at The Troubadour in LA and from this first performance, he showed a natural proclivity to showmanship that would eventually make him one of the world's most popular live performers. Over the next 18 years John's career skyrocketed as he released one album almost every year, most notably: Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player (1973), Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973), Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (1975), and Rock of the Westies (1975). These albums produced numerous Top 10 hits including "Crocodile Rock", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Bennie and the Jets", "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and "Candle in the Wind". This latter track has been released three times -- in 1974, 1990, and 1997 -- and is the highest-selling single of all time. In 1994 John teamed with famed Broadway lyricist Tim Rice (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita) to write the music for the Disney movie The Lion King. One song from the film, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", won the duo a Grammy (Best Male Pop Vocal Performance), a Golden Globe (Best Original Song for) and an Academy Award (Best Original Song). He has composed for another Disney film, The Road to El Dorado, and several highly successful musical theatre productions, most notably Aida and Billy Elliot the Musical. John continues to perform live and release the occasional album. In 2001 he released Songs from the West Coast and declared it would be his last studio album; however in 2004 he released his twenty-eighth studio album Peachtree Road, and in 2006 The Captain & The Kid followed, an autobiographical return to the themes of 1975 album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. He told Rolling Stone magazine in 2006 that he would like "to work with Pharrell, Timbaland, Snoop, Kanye, Eminem and just see what happens".PLEASE NOTE THE JAPAN CD'S HAVE THE SAME TRACK LISTINGS AS THESE VINYL LP'S LISTED BELOW. THE ANNIVERSARY EDITION 2014 AUDIOPHILE COLLECTORS OUT OF PRINT PRESSING OF GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD . Audiophile 180g Double Vinyl Reissue Of Elton John's Iconic 1973 Album! Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 91/500! Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time - "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" - Rated 390/500, "Candle In The Wind" - Rated 356/500! 2014 version of the iconic 1973 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album mastered for vinyl by Doug Sax and Robert Hadley at The Mastering Lab, California. This is two discs of heavy 180g audiophile quality vinyl. Selling over 31 million albums worldwide and going platinum in the US seven times over, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is widely regarded as the album that made Elton John a household name. Includes ‘Benny and The Jets’, ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’, ‘Candle In The Wind’, ‘Saturday Night’s All Right For Fighting’ and ‘Harmony’.This was the album that created a true superstar. Although he was already known in 1973 due to the growing success of his previous albums--including Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player, Elton John and Honky Chateau--it was the release of this double album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, that made Elton John a household name. It went on to sell 31-million copies. Goodbye... perfectly marries the various elements of Elton's craft: classic songwriting, glam stomp, R&B, gospel, jaw-dropping performances, soul and a large helping of brilliant showmanship.The album spent eight weeks at No.1 and went platinum seven times over in the U.S. It also contains Elton and co-writer Bernie Taupin's most successful song, "Candle in the Wind;" a No.1 hit three times, in three different versions, in three successive decades, ultimately becoming the biggest-selling single of all time. It also features dynamite standards such as "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" and "Bennie and the Jets," the latter being the song that led to Elton becoming the first white performer to appear on the influential American R&B TV show Soul Train. The album is also ranked No. 91 in Rolling Stone magazine's "Top 100 Greatest Albums Of All Time" chart. In a career filled with highlights that other artists can only dream of, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road stands as a towering achievement, a defining moment in the most exciting era in rock history.Often referred to as the pinnacle of Elton and co-writer Bernie Taupin's creative powers and commercial success, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was the eighth studio album the pair had released in a three-year period. But the recording of the album wasn't the smoothest of experiences. After initial attempts at recording in Kingston, Jamaica, were derailed by the double whammy of industrial action at the studio and further disruption was caused by a world boxing title fight in the town, Elton and the band returned to the familiar settings of Chateau d'Herouville. The album was completed in a staggering seventeen days (including mixing!) and the result is a body of work of huge ambition-kicking off with the grandiose, epic prog rock sound of "Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding," and effortlessly segueing between pop, hard rock, soul, and stunning heart-wrenching ballads.The album artwork was also a giant leap forward creatively for Elton. Whereas earlier album artwork either didn't feature Elton at all, or showed him as an earnest early 70's songwriter, here he can been seen resplendent in sparkling platform boots, a satin bomber jacket and, of course, his soon-to-be trademark flamboyant eyewear. The sight of him stepping from an unglamorous normal street into a magical fantasy world is not only a metaphor for the transition he was going through as an artist but is one of the most defining images of early 1970's rock music.The lasting legacy of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road can still be seen with a wealth of emerging new talent quick to praise the influence it had on their own careers. Artists ranging from BRIT winner Ed Sheeran (Candle in the Wind), R&B sensation Miguel (Bennie and the Jets), rock band Fall Out Boy (Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting), add their own interpretations to the classic originals on a sensational bonus disc. Recorded with producer Peter Asher at the helm, Elton and Bernie's influence on modern day Americana, R&B and soul, and rock singers continues to shine through.Features: Audiophile 180g Vinyl Double LP 2014 remaster by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering from the original analogue tapes Mastered for vinyl by Doug Sax & Robert Hadley at The Mastering Lab, Inc Includes download card IF STILL AVAILABLE Selections: LP 1 - Side 1:1.

Elton John is at the top of his form, crafting immaculate pop songs with memorable melodies and powerful hooks. Breakout hits include "Honky Cat" and "Rocket Man." Remastered on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl."What makes Honky Chateau a classic is the songcraft, and the way John ties disparate strands of roots music into distinctive and idiosyncratic pop -- it's one of the finest collections of mainstream singer/songwriter pop of the early '70s." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic"After a couple of weightier singer-songwriter outings, it was delightful to hear John revel in the simple pop pleasures of 'Honky Cat.' Written in five days, and using his signature touring band for the first time, Honky Château is a snapshot of an artist loosening up and coming into his full powers." - rollingstoneFeatures:• 180g Vinyl• Remastered• Gatefold jacket• Made in Czech RepublicSelections: Side One:1.
