John, Elton – A Single Man

NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2022

180 GRAM VINYL.

After a dozen albums with lyrical collaborator Bernie Taupin, A Single Man (1978) represents Elton John’s first full-length release away from their decade-long partnership. John’s initial intent was to complete work on a Taupin-era remnant that had been on the back burner, titled Ego. However, he found himself with some interesting melodies and eventually teamed up with former Vigrass & Osborne member Gary Osborne. Also contributing to this album’s different approach is producer Gus Dudgeon — who had worked with John as far back as his debut long-player, Empty Sky (1969).
