"I Want Love" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance."Original Sin" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.SONGS FROM THE WEST COAST is the album for all those who idolize HONKY CHATEAU and CAPTAIN FANTASTIC but feared that Elton John had become Disneyfied beyond repair in the '90s. Whether the inspiration was aesthetic hunger or mid-life crisis, Elton decided to team up with lyricist Bernie Taupin--the man who helped pen all those '70s classics--to produce a more direct, stripped-down album than he's seemed capable of since his glory days. There's no overblown orchestration here, just simple arrangements based quite rightly around Elton's piano and voice. Playing to his strengths, the piano man concentrates largely on ballads, from the somewhat Beatlesque "I Want Love" to the stately, elegiac "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore." Still, Elton didn't become the master pop craftsman that he is by constructing monochromatic records; "The Wasteland" is a churning bluesy number, and "Dark Diamond" employs a modified reggae rhythm. After years of wandering around in a star-studded artistic netherworld, Elton serves notice with SONGS FROM THE WEST COAST that he's putting them together and belting them out again like he did in his heyday.

...Outmusic for outpeople... Mojo (11/01/2001) 4 stars out of 5 - ...This LP has an alt-country lope, some old-school close miking and is far removed fromt he 'bad years'....with superb, Dylan-voiced songs... Q (10/01/2001) 4 stars out of 5 - ...It aims to recapture the expansive sounds and sensibility of MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER, HONKY CHATEAU and other early vehicles that blasted pop's rocket man into the AM-FM stratosphere....Elton's spirit and ambition have finally come back home.

All cd's that i offer for sale are in used condition and will have some marks on the disc but the cd has been played right through to make certain that there are no jumps,skips or sticks.
All covers, inlays and booklets will be in good condition but will have been used
Cases will show signs of wear.

In general what i am trying to say is the cd's are not new they are used and as such may/will have minor marks

Please note i can only post on a Saturday

IMPORTANT POSTAGE DETAILS

Please note that now ebay have forced us to offer free postage it is obvious that this is not possible if the same method of postage is used as i have always done
i cannot sell a cd at 99p with free postage when the actual cost of postage plus the new jiffy bag comes to more than a quid!!!
Therefore my free postage option involves sending the cd and covers etc without the plastic case in an envelope
my other postage option is 2nd class mail in a brand new jiffy bag complete cd with case which still only costs £1
please make sure you choose the postage option you really want before making payment
