ELTON JOHN B-SIDES

Elton John - Reggie's Non-Album B-Sides (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1 + CD2

Sir Elton Hercules John CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, 25 March 1947) is an English singer, songwriter, pianist, and composer. He has worked with lyricist Bernie Taupin as his songwriting partner since 1967; they have collaborated on more than 30 albums. John has sold more than 300 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world. He has more than fifty Top 40 hits, as well as seven consecutive number-one albums in the United States, 58 Billboard Top 40 singles, 27 Top 10 singles, four which reached number two and nine which reached number one. His singles discography consists of 133 official singles and 17 as featured artist, as well as 47 other non-single guest appearances. Across his career, John has yielded 57 top 40 hits in the United States, second only to Elvis Presley in total. (Wikipedia)

He also released many B-Sides that were not on any officially released albums (doesn't include reissues or later compilations). These B-sides are mostly wonderful examples of his musical capabilities, and it surprises that they were not originally on albums. He is very talented and prolific songwriter whose career is accompanied by some hidden and rare B-side gems.

Here are Reggie's Non-Album B-Sides in one spot for your listening pleasure. Presented here in date order. Enjoy!

    1. Hi SquireH,
      I have tested the links and they are working Fine. Have you tried opera Browser. Or a VPN before DL. The last time that happened to me I restarted my PC and it worked. Other than try again I cant suggest what else to do.

      Cheers

    2. Thanks, I'll give it a go. I'm desperate to get a copy of CD1, as it contains a track I've been looking for and trying to identify for literally almost 40 years. It's a track called TACTICS, which was used in December 1980 by the BBC on a kids football coaching programme called F.A.C.T.S. (Football Association Coaching: Tactics & Skills) - which hardly anyone seems to remember, but it featured as its theme music an absolutely wonderful instrumental piano/synth piece, which I used to enjoy more than the programme itself. The end credits just stated 'Music by Elton John', without giving a title. I've searched for it vainly until just last night, when I found the piece 'Tactics' (which I'd never heard of) on YouTube. I thought, "surely not?" - listened to it - and got an adrenaline rush tat ought to be illegal, lol. Found and identified it, at last! Now, I just desperately need my own copy.
      Thanks for replying so quickly, it's much appreciated. :)
