Well this week, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Sir Elton has released a 4-CD/1-DVD set with newly re-mastered versions of the original album, full of great deep tracks like “Love Lies Bleeding” and “All the Girls Love Alice” and probably best remembered for its mother lode of hits like “Bennie and the Jets,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,”

CD-2 is a compilation of Elton singles, B-sides, outtakes and rarities along with nine Goodbye Yellow Brick Road covers performed by various artists like The Band Perry, Imelda May, Grammy winner Miguel featuring Wale and PRP artist Ed Sheeran.

CDs-3 and -4 feature live performances from London’s Hammersmith Odeon. and if that’s not enough, the set rounds out with the Elton John and Bernie Taupin Say Goodbye to Norma Jean and Other Things DVD plus a deluxe 100-page hardcover book packed with new liner notes, and rare photos.
