ELTON JOHN Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (50th Anniversary Edition 2025 UK/EU 20-track double album 2-LP, pressed on Clear Red & Black Vinyl. Before fame’s glitter reached the Royal Box, Elton John and Bernie Taupin were two London dreamers crafting songs in smoke-filled flats-a story immortalised on Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. Originally released in 1975, the album traces the duo’s formative struggles and creative bond through Elton’s intricate piano work and Bernie’s evocative lyrics. This welcome reissue enriches the experience with newly unearthed session demos and live performances, providing fresh perspective on one of rock’s most beloved partnerships. Housed in a deluxe red foil inlay gatefold picture sleeve with a 28-page booklet with scrapbook imagery, sleeve notes, and excerpts from Elton’s 1974 diary. Sealed with hype-sticker. Essential)
