This was actually in Australia in February 1974, also he mentions he recorded an album in America in January which would be the Caribou Album

This was February of 1974. Not 1975.

So a month after cutting Caribou in January. He’s now being interviewed in February of 1974. But has no idea of the title yet or “what tracks” are going on it! Key word there.... “Tracks!” So they cut numerous. We know of Sick City, Cold Highway. Perhaps: snookeroo? And Ducktail Jiver. Wonder what else remains from those sessions? He makes it clear they pretty much knew what singles would be released already though.

To me Chuck Berry doing it his own way is just part of the Chuck Berry legend.

Curious that Elton say's he wasn't interested in taking the offer for the film Tommy, but he did in the end - Pinball Wizard,!

He has stated that Rod Stewart had been invited to play the role. Elton persuaded him not to accept it, and took the role in the end. He added that there has always been a kind of competition between them, although they are friends.

@@michellourenco2905 that's interesting, I dont think Rod would have suited the role so well. They could have made him up as Uncle Ernie??!
