Artist News Releases
Elton John announces Goodbye Yellow Brick Road re-issue, cinema screening of Las Vegas show
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 31 January 2014
To mark the 40th anniversary (back in December) of the release of his 1973 album ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’, Elton John has announced a new remastered version of the album on various formats and with various extras depending on how much money/enthusiasm you have.
At the very least, you’ll get a download of the album in its remastered form. You could also have it on CD, Blu-ray or vinyl, plus get a load of extra cover versions by various hip young artists – including Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sandé and Fall Out Boy – and a best of-style live recording. You could even buy a big old box full of all that (except the vinyl and Blu-ray) and some other tat.
Two days before its 24 Mar release date (so 22 Mar), a film of his Las Vegas show, ‘The Million Dollar Piano’, will be shown in 200 cinemas across the UK and Ireland.
Is the show worth seeing? Well, let’s ask someone who would know. Mr Elton John: “I’ve had the best time [in Las Vegas] because I always thought of it as a challenge and wanted to put on the best show. I don’t think there could be a better looking show than this in Vegas or in any venue anywhere”.
So there.
