    Thank you so much! i’ve been searching for a review like on the Jewel Box ever since it came out… i agree with most of your replacements. (although i think you cheated where you mentioned “Too Low For Zero” album, “Crystal” is on Disc 2, but you corrected yourself and said “One More Arrow”😆👍) hers my replacements, ones not anywhere on the Jewel Box or you have chosen even though i probably would’ve chosen the same ones but now i’ll choose others:
    from Leon Russell album: Hey Ahab!
    Tumbleweed Connection: Balled Of Well Known Gun
    Honky Chatue: Mona Lisas & Madhatters
    Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: I’ve Seen That Movie Too
    Blue Moves: Tonight
    Captian Fantastic…..: Better Off Dead
    Too Low For Zero: Religion
    (not too familiar with “Duets” i’ll have to skip…)
    Peachtree Road: Porch Swing In Tupelo
    Captian & The Kid: Just Like Noah’s Ark
    The Diving Board: Oceans Away
    Sleeping With The Past: Club At The End at of The Street
    The One: Runaway Train
    Leather Jackets: Go It Alone

      Some great choices there, thanks. Religion is the only one I'm not sure about. Quite an unusual song for Elton. I'm not sure how to classify it. Not a ballad but not rock either.

      These would be my deep cut selections. I will keep the cuts from the same albums even though in reality I wouldn't. The best part of the day. Where to now St Peter. Mona Lisas and Mad hatters. harmony. gone to Shiloh. Captain Fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy. One more Arrow. The Power, porch swing in Tupelo, tinderbox. voyeur. Emily. Paris and One horse Town.
      Thanks looking forward to the next video.

    ... another fantastic album cut from The Captain And The Kid is 'And The House Fell Down' ... Love the story it tells, even if it's a sad story; it's a Wise story ... and the piano solo on that song is deliciously jazzy!

    Hi John, you’ll need to choose another track to replace Simple Life cos that was a single. I would go for Sweat It Out.

    • @eltonmusicfan
      @eltonmusicfan  2 года назад +2

      Thanks. I should have checked. Sweat it Out is another interesting one - a bit like Stone's Throw maybe - in that it grows on you steadily.

      @@eltonmusicfan I would have said The Last Song but that’s not as obscure because he’s performed that a few times live. I agree Sweat It Out is like Stones Throw From Hurtin’ in its uniqueness and like 16th Century Man from The Road to Eldorado Soundtrack.

      to be fair though, “Too Low For Zero” title track was on the 1987 compilation “Greatest Hits Volume 3” (Catalog: Geffen GHS24153) so that too may have been a single….

      The piano solo on Sweat It Out has always been, and will always be, Butter to me! (Do people still say 'Butter' or 'Butta'?)

    Think Elton did a great job curating this first disc of deep cuts (second disc is very good too). The only song I really don't care for here is Hoop of Fire and agree that Go It Alone is far superior from that album (which I still don't like after repeated listenings). If you haven't done so already, do yourself a favor and listen to Come Down in Time (Jazz Version).

    • @eltonmusicfan
      @eltonmusicfan  2 года назад

      Hoop is an oddball choice but I like to get these, especially as they come from Elton himself. I have heard the jazz version of Come Down. I like it a lot, though the original is also perfect.

    That's what makes the Rare Masters collection so great John, lots of wonderful deep cuts on that 2 CD collection , that would fit so well on the Jewel Box

    • @eltonmusicfan
      @eltonmusicfan  2 года назад

      I think there is some duplication and I will be comparing the two. Similarly with the new Sgt Zippo album - most of it appears to be on the Jewel Box, though some are demos.

      i think the Bsides section (Discs 6 & 7) were meant to be thought of as a sequel to the “Rare Masters” from what i understood…
