Elton John – Honky Château
Honky Château is available from the Mr. Hansen Records collection with Near Mint vinyl and a Mint sleeve. This exceptionally well-preserved copy shows minimal signs of handling and offers a clean, detailed listening experience.
Released as a Vinyl Me, Please club edition by DJM Records, UMC and Mercury, this remastered reissue is pressed on cream-coloured vinyl. Catalogue number VMP-167.
Originally released in 1972, Honky Château marked an important turning point in Elton John’s career. Recorded with his touring band, the album has a warmer and more direct sound than his earlier orchestral releases, combining piano-led rock, pop, soul and country influences.
The album includes some of Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s most enduring songs, including Rocket Man, Honky Cat, Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters and Hercules. Elton John’s expressive piano playing, memorable melodies and distinctive vocals are supported by a confident band performance throughout.
This cream-vinyl Vinyl Me, Please edition is an attractive choice for collectors of limited pressings, remastered albums and essential 1970s singer-songwriter recordings.
