Record Collection: Elton John "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" 1973

This double album is one of John's classic works. On eBay it sells for about $25--luckily I found it recently for about .75 cents. As mentioned, I came across a bunch of John's albums at the thrift store. Whenever I see a collection of work newly displayed on the shelves, my first thought is that someone passed away and their family decided to donate these records. It's always bittersweet when you think about it because someone (willingly or unwillingly) is giving up their music. Lucky for me though, I never take that for granted and treat each record I bring home like my new adopted album child.

This album also contains the song, "Candle in the Wind." John's farewell song to Marilyn Monroe along with the banger "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting."

Also, the artwork is amazing on the jacket. It's tri-folded and each song is accompanied by lyrics and specific artwork.
