New Deluxe Edition of "Madman Across the Water" coming out soon with bonus tracks of "Levon (mono single version)" and "Razor Face (Extended Version)." Wouldn't surprise me if "Levon" is a disc dub as I
would bet the mono master burned up in the Universal fire, but it's the first time any of his Uni mono mixes have ever been issued on CD.

Exactly! I would preferred they included those songs
instead of repeating songs that already appeared on his
other compilations to that point. (Who knew then how
many times his catalog would be compiled since using the
same core set of songs over and over and over....)

The original single on Congress Records of "Border Song"
is mono. The UNI single reissue if I recall correctly is
also mono. ]]> Sun, 03 May 2020 04:56:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9262&PID=54355&title=elton-john-singles-boxed-set#54355 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9262&PID=54351&title=elton-john-singles-boxed-set#54351 Author: EdisonLite

The version of "Little Jeannie" on "Diamonds" is also
just 4:48.

I always wondered why Elton never released a Greatest
Hits Volume 4. His "Love Songs" compilation somewhat
served that purpose, but pulled songs from his
previous hits collections and excluded many of his
hits since his third hits set on Geffen which mostly
didn't fit the "love" theme:

* I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That
* A Word In Spanish
* Healing Hands
* Club At The End Of The Street
* You Gotta Love Someone
* The Last Song
* Simple Life
* True Love
* Made In England]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2020 06:53:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9262&PID=54294&title=elton-john-singles-boxed-set#54294 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9262&PID=54038&title=elton-john-singles-boxed-set#54038 Author: thecdguy

There's a few listings of the "Little Jeannie" 45 from
other countries with a listed running time of 4:48 on
Discogs, so maybe that's the one I heard, but I don't
think it was even that long. The same thing happened when
I used to hear Poco's "Heart Of The Night", I could have
sworn what I heard was shorter than what's on the 45 and
album, but no shorter promo there either in that case.
Probably in-house edits on both, I Guess. ]]> Tue, 07 Apr 2020 11:59:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9262&PID=54022&title=elton-john-singles-boxed-set#54022 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9262&PID=54021&title=elton-john-singles-boxed-set#54021 Author: garye

Little Jeannie is the 45 length as released. You might
have heard an inhouse edit. I remember many Top 4o
stations doing in house edits on Elton's longer
singles.
There was a second collection of later singles from
the later years, but I bypassed those CD's.
For the price was not interested.]]> Tue, 07 Apr 2020 10:37:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9262&PID=54021&title=elton-john-singles-boxed-set#54021 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9262&PID=54020&title=elton-john-singles-boxed-set#54020 Author: thecdguy
