Anybody that likes Elton,s earlier stuff(or later for that matter)that has,nt already heard this needs to check this out immediately!For years I only had this on a really naff second hand vinyl record-you know,scratches,hiss, that kind of thing but it was still worth all the while playing because of it,s beautiful melody,orchestration and gorgeous lost-age-of-innocence scene painting words.Strangely,(and i don,t wish to get too maudlin)viewing the lyrics now as a 50 year old,almost 40 years later it seems to speak of an age and a time that has LONG gone. But then i suppose it has! Sighhh.
