I have a copy of this that is Blue when held up to the light. Anyone know anything about it.
It has the booklet on the DJM Label. DJLPH.427
Thanks- I think www.discogs.com should pay more attention to distinguish between year of recording/manufacturing vs. year of release. Like with this one (Elton John-Don't shoot me...) album, info just states "year" without any hint as to what in the album developing process "year" refers to. Otherwise www.discogs.com is an AMAZING website so thank you for that.
- This album was plagued with technical difficulties so I doubt it'll never rise to the sonic levels it probably should but I'm guessing early copies will sound the best. The newer remixes sharpen it up but you lose the 'involvement' in my opinion. Having said all that this is a really good piece of pop from Elton. It's bouncy pop style means that 'Have mercy on the Criminal' and "Blues for Baby and me' often get overlooked but these are excellent pieces.
Got a copy today, mine is Gate Fold, with picture book inside still MCA 2100, but differs from the one listed
