Elton John - I'm Still Standing /The Complete UK-US Singles 1965-2020

   
Never in a million years did I think that I'd compile a set like this, but an odd turn of events lead me to this - I was upgrading my EJ collection when I found a nearly complete set of 45 needle drops along with later CD singles/EPs.  That and the fact my fiance was on an EJ binge led me to put this together.  Once finished, I found that most of it was quite a good listen and makes a pretty strong case that EJ is indeed more than just his 70's-80's hits and the occasional duet or soundtrack.  I hope that you'll give it a listen, especially the last four volumes.  It came out much better than expected.  There are a bunch of really rare and hard to find tracks here as well.  Elton should consider making one of his own. He deserves better than the endless repackages of the same old hits.

My rules for compiling this was about the same as last year's Bowie 52 Years set - all UK/US commercially released singles in the order of date with no duplication.  All songs needed to have active involvement from Elton - if he only played or sang backup, it wasn't included.  I did make some exceptions - some of the really early singles had his involvement because he was a band member, not a leader yet. Even in the few songs he doesn't sing on, you can hear what he was adding to the band. I really wanted to tell his complete story. It's all @320, 324 Tracks split into 15 CD-sized volumes, each tagged with original artwork.

Note: The early US Uni singles were mono, often with dedicated mixes. If I was able, I defaulted to those. Also, I'm guilty of creating a promo edit of Tiny Dancer. I prefer it. I hope you agree!

The later years became problematic as 45s went into CDs and especially when CDs went into downloads and back to vinyl.  Nevertheless, I tried to compile a collection that used all of the correct single versions and if a clean digital version wasn't available, I used needle drops.  Please let me know what you think and also please tell me if there is anything that is wrong or missing. I do plan to continue adding on the last volume and adding future volumes as his career progresses
