Some great covers and a few rare onesSeptember 25, 2008 S J Buck(Kent, UK) This is difficult to get hold of now, but if you can find a copy, and you're a fan of Elton, this well worth searching for. With 19 tracks its mainly covers of classic Elton John Tracks:
Hey Lord You Made the Night Too Long - Long John Baldry Breakdown Blues - Bread & beer Band Turn To Me - Plastic Penny Country Comfort - Rod Stewart Border Song - Aretha Franklin 71-75 New Oxford Street - Mr Bloc Let Me Be Your Car - Rod Stewart Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - The Three Degrees Planes - Colin Blunstone Candle In The Wind - Sandy Denny Your Song - Billy Paul Philadelphia Freedom - Esther Phillips Strangers - Randy Meisner Sweet Heart On Parade - Judy Collins Sorry Seems TO Be The Hardest Word - Elaine Page The Rumour - Olivia Newton John Sacrifice - Brenda Cochrane Someone Saved My Life Tonight - Walter Jackson Eltons Song - Tom Robinson
Not all of these are classic covers, indeed there are a few stinkers, but this is mostly down to personal taste. For me though Elaine Pages version of Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word is horrid...
Rarest is the Bread & Beer Band instrumental track from 1969 which was a short-lived Supergroup of sorts, that has Elton on Piano. The best track is probably Aretha's cover of Border Song from 1970. She could do no wrong then!
