Elton John - Record Store Day Legend
/ eltonjohn
Daniel was my very first 45 - and then I bought Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on vinyl, which was a sensory experience. The liner notes were beautiful, and the images they put to each song were so great! That album was like no other. Ever.
I still have my vinyl .. Especially, Elton John's. I saw Elton John in "74 at the Capitol Center, D.C. way .. It was awesome .. I'll never forget his "Funeral for a Friend" performance. Bless your dear heart, Elton .. The crocodile still rocks !!
I met you at TOWER RECORDS in 1995 for your MADE IN ENGLAND promotion! One of the best, most memorable days ever. Have a wonderful life. Love you, Robert
There is a video on RUclips showing Elton shopping at Tower Records when the prices were $2.99 per record. I just saw this video last night. It apparently was filmed as part of a documentary. He is very serious about his music and had a handwritten list of what he wanted. His assistant carried around the box of records.
@@DragonNinja4680 I've seen that video, it's amazing. He's going around the store with list and checking off the list as he finds what he's looking for.
Happy to hear Elton visited a vinyl record store in Vancouver, BC not too long ago!! Vinyl is tactile, Vinyl is GREAT!
Vinyl DOES sound better and it's pure! As PURE as it gets! I saw you in concert at the World Arena, Colorado Springs in March 2017. Exceptional, timeless show!!
PURE? your definition of this is?
Factually it is not better. Of course you can PREFER vinyl sound, but it is not better quality compared to digital.
Hi, Elton! From a vinyl collector's perspective, which I have been my entire life, you were one of my first musical heroes. I own most of your albums on vinyl already, plus there are some that I'm yet to find, and the "Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra" album is my ultimate favourite in your catalogue. Keep up the good work.
I completely agree Elton, ever since i played my mums 45 of Jailhouse rock when i was three made me a Record collector for life , Digging through the bins every week at my local record shop plus The smell,The Covers,pretty much everything about them i love plus its a great hobby....I LOVE MUSIC most of all things.
I still have some of my Elton John albums along with some CD's.
I still have my DVD of his concert in 2000 that I bought when I was doing my English school but I keep it so much now I will always remember it
What a great interview. I love vinyl too. I have about 1500 singles and albums collectively and would never part with them. Keep rockin' Elton! x
It's a shame so much of Record Store Day's releases just end up on eBay at inflated prices... the whole thing has become a joke in which real music fans suffer. :(
Paul Holmes I disagree. It's not for people who like to sleep in is all. I am crazy and get there at 1:00am, but it's worth it when the eBay people arrive and realize that I'm getting that 1 valuable item and they're not. And that one item will go in my collection, not on eBay...
Elton, SPOT ON about the "ritual" of vinyl. It really is a bigger experience than just listening to the music on the record.
What I particularly love about a record, is that people are buying ALBUMS again, rather than just digitally nibbling and picking at a few songs here and there.
I haven't seen a record store in my part of NYS in almost 30yrs. Bookstores are near extinct. I miss both dearly! Still have all my records I bought growing up. Everything from Elton to The Osmond Brothers to Elvis and Jefferson Airplane to Prince and the Backstreet Boys to Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash etc.......
elton john...all about the music.
7,000 records! I'd love to see a video tour of his collection someday!
Stuff We Play whatever happened to the warehouse full of records Elton had back in the day?
He sold alot to start his AIDS foundation. I think he said someone is St. Louis bought the majority.
I bet he has a very high end turntable.
I won this album 17.11.70+ YES!!... from the EJ newsletter contest!! I am so blown away but sure do wish I still had a turntable.....
its nice to see elton content and happy. my first albums were gogos "we've got the beat" and "fat boys are back" played on a fisher price record player.
wish this was longer😳
my vary first album ever was a reissue of elvis christmas album ever since then music is the way ive lived it got me through so most of the cds i own were originally a vinyl release some of my favorites are simon and garfunkel greatest hits the carpenters close to you the beatles sgt peppers elton jhon goodbye yellow brick road ottis reeding blue mama cass mamas big ones mack the knife the bobby darin story the eagles greatest hits volume I journey xscape whitney huston the bodygaurd soundtrack nomorus of elvis i love music so much and a fantastic choice for the first record store day legend
I totally agree with you Mr. John (I was gonna just say Elton, but I have plenty of respect for you, I changed it. It was like me meeting my favourite country singer George Jones for the first time in 2004. I called him Mr. Jones, he said just call me George. I had to smile. So down to earth). I have been seeking and I have added to my Discogs wantlist, a 45 of your song Candle In The Wind 1997, and I may pay a pretty penny for it, but back when vinyl wasn't a thing, or wasn't "cool", and that memorable song being on a vinyl 45 record, I will get it and treasure it. I still have the CD single that was released. My favourite song you ever recorded is Daniel, just wanted to note that. I just love the story it tells.
I still have some of my records, absolutely saved the 1st record I bought with babysitting money...'Crocodile Rock' 45! I adore your music, feel fortunate to have seen many concerts also sharing the love with my kids.
Elton would bring his notepad and pen into Tower on Sunset and spend an hour + in the morning looking at everything. There is a YT vid of it, it’s very fascinating to watch. He was very focused and his driver assisted in the search.
I’ve been an EJ fan from 16 years of age back in the Madman era. Still a fabulous record.
Can't do much better than Music as a soul mate
Elton you are the best❤
Still got a few of Elton's on Vinyl and various others have loved Elton since I was young went to a few of his concerts back in the day and he's just as good live as on record if not better brilliant showman I used to have nearly all the LP's up to Blue Moves but a lot got damaged in a couple of house moves so only have a few now sadly but I've followed his career from the early days until now and I think he got better as he's got older a brilliant showman I'd love to go to one of his concerts again but I'm disabled now and don't know if I could sit through it all and enjoy it now I'll leave it as a maybe we'll see as I never know from 1 day to the next how I'll feel I have better days and crap days but I still breathing got a roof over my head and loving family 4 kids in total plus an angel who was stillborn a nearly 15 years ago.
Rock of the Westies is being re-released on vinyl tomorrow 25th August 2017.
i know i am 5 years late but i am deeply sorry for your loss.
In the 90s, I was dorming at FIT in Manhattan, and every weekend, I would head down to the Village and buy classic rock albums by the load (well, as many as could fit in my bookbag) to decorate my dorm room with. I'd take the records out of their sleeves and put the empty cardboard up.) And I'd get 'em for $2, $3, up to $5 for a double album! NOBODY cared about vinyl then!
It was Monkees, Beatles/solo Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, Genesis, Pretenders...and my fave, Elton. I had every EJ album from the icons like CAPTAIN FANTASTIC and GYBR to lovely obscure stuff like FRIENDS, THOM BELL, LADY SAMANTHA and LEATHER JACKETS. I actually managed to find the original British cover of EMPTY SKY, not that crap American sleeve from '75. Got an apartment, put 'em on THOSE walls, then put 'em in storage. Later decided to move, and figured, "Meh, time to clean house," and took 'em back to the Village and left 'em for some lucky souls to find.
Cue to NOW, of course, when vinyl's once again the rage, and I wish I'd held onto those things a little while longer. But live and learn. You can't keep EVERYTHING. I'm not about to go re-buy them all for whacked-out prices, but I'm glad the analogue sound still lives...even though I didn't and still don't have a record player! XD
You actually had Lady Samantha?
I’ll buy it off you.
I luv u Uncle Eltie!
Thanks, Elton - vinyl rules!

I like passionate people. This guy sounds passionate although I had never heard of him before. I'm going to research him.

My Dear Elton, Hello! How are you feeling after your fall a few weeks ago? Please take it easy and take care of yourself. Love, Eileen.
Brilliant 👍
Te amoooo ❤😍💚💙🎶🎼🌹🌹🌹💋💋
i honestly did not expect him to say kanye omg
Listen to how coherent Elton is: He'll never have dementia. Such a strong minded man he is, and with remarkable intelligence.
If only he had that same passion for Jesus, what a world wide audience he'd influence for the cause of Christ.
Élton john cante Hallellujah igual ao bono vox muitos irão a lágrimas. Jesus te ama Élton john.
Remember what Chuck D said about people who talk about how wonderful record stores were in the old days? "Well, that's romantic, why don't you write a book about it?" >:-(
Steven Maginnis chuck d is nothing but a bitch fuck him i hope he burns in hell
Nobody with an IQ higher than their shoe size listens to a word "Chuck D" says LMAO
