I came across online a boxed set titled: Elton John I'm
Still Standing; The Complete Singles.
And yes, it has the mono versions of the UNI records
singles including the hard to find "Your Song" which is
a dedicated mix. Along with "Levon" mono single mix and
other songs collected for the first time in their hit
single versions!
I could not find it on Amazon, got mine from a private
seller on Ebay.
I know for many "Your Song" has been hard to find.
If anyone is interested, PM and will send you a MP3
file. 320K.

Any reason if it is off CD you can't rip to a lossless format??

I'm not aware such release existed or was available. You sure this is not a boot set?

That is a good question. Actually FLAC is the format.
Mentioned MP3 because I ripped the cd's to MP3.
I forgot. Getting old! LOL
Anyone wants the FLAC message me !
Got it right that time!

Elton is sooooooooooo due for a true singles
compilation. Despite so many collections released
through the years, there are still many of his
Billboard charted hits that I don't think have been
ever anthologized:

* A Step Too Far
* A Word In Spanish
* All That I'm Allowed (I'm Thankful)
* Answer In The Sky
* Bite Your Lip (Get Up And Dance)
* Can't Stay Alone Tonight
* Chloe
* Club At The End Of The Street
* Friends Never Say Goodbye
* Healing Hands
* In Neon
* Made In England
* Nobody Wins
* Original Sin
* Recover Your Soul
* (Sartorial Eloquence) Don't You Wanna Play This
Game Mo More?
* Simple Life
* Someday Out Of The Blue
* The Bridge
* The Heart Of Every Girl
* The Last Song

Gary, do you have a track listing for this set? Like Rich,
I can't find anything online about it. Are these cleaned
up vinyl dubs?

I'm curious, and maybe someone knows if the following
Elton John UNI recordings were dedicated mono mixes. These
are either B-sides or album tracks:

Border Song
Friends
Take Me To The Pilot

I would love if someone could send me CLEAN mono dubs to
see if they are dedicated mixes or folds.

Does the box set have a barcode and what label and country is the set issued on?

Okay, a few things. I think this boxed set is a
bootleg, because can not find any official listing for
it.
The list I am about to post goes up through Candle In
The Wind, the 1997 version for Princess Diana's
funeral.
And the CD's I have is only 1 part going through that
time. The other set which covers 2000 onward I did not
get because wasn't that interested in those songs. So
basically covers 1969-1990.
But all the hits are here along with the 1969 and
early 1970 records before Your Song became Elton's
first hit.
And the mono 45's cover up to 1972 when everything on
MCA was stereo. It does not include the mono DJ of
Crocodile Rock or any mono radio promos of the bigger
70's hits
The edit of Tiny Dancer is on this collection, but
that is just an early fade of the LP version.
I will post the list separately from this.
Hope you all find something you like!
