    This is wonderful. Very much appreciate your dogged research and knowledge. There's material here I already knew or had but didn't know Elton was involved: Mr Bloe, The Hollies, Simon Dupree etc. One I did know was the Songwriter sessions he did featuring Nick Drake and John Martyn material. There's a full length CD featuring all the stuff recorded to promote these artists which are definitely worth hearing. Elton & Linda Peters version of Martyn's 'Go Out And Get It' is worthy of the admission price alone. Keep up the good work Frank

    I've wanted to research and collect material like this and was never able to. Thanks for all your efforts. Looks like an outstanding collection.
