Elton John/Unreleased BBC 1968-1973

Here is the title of a collection of rare live recordings left on early BBC radio that were not officially recorded by Elton John from 1968 to 1973 when he made his debut. Of course, the entire master quality is a sound board sound source, starting with the fresh 1968 “Lady Samantha”, and the 1973 Dylan medley and Christmas medley are rare sound sources. In addition, the second half includes sound sources from BBC:TV, a studio live performance at OGWT, and two songs from 1974’s Madison Square Garden, which were not officially recorded. This is a must-listen for old fans, as the lyrical Elton, who was called a modern-day troubadour when he debuted, is revived here. 01. Lady Samantha (10-28-1968)/02. Sails (07-11-1969)/03.
