A long-unavailable curio in Elton John’s illustrious catalog, "Friends" – originally released in March 1971 – is the soundtrack to a Paramount film from 1971. Released between "Tumbleweed Connection" and "Madman Across The Water", the music was recorded in late 1970. Elton recorded it with drummer Nigel Olsson, bassist Dee Murray, and guitarist Caleb Quaye. Produced by Gus Dudgeon with strings arranged by Paul Buckmaster, it was the core line-up that had made that April’s much-loved "Elton John" album.
The movie "Friends" was not a great commercial or critical success. Like the film, the album, which is a mix of instrumentals & vocals, has a dedicated cult following. One of the main vocal tracks, "Can I Put You On", was in Elton’s live set for most of 1971. The title track "Friends" reached #34 in the US (#13 in Canada) and was his only single released between "Your Song" 1970 & "Levon" 1971.
Overseen with customary forensic attention to details by Elton’s archive team, this re-issue of the "Friends" Soundtrack is an absolute feast for fans of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Mastered in stereo at Abbey Road by Sean Magee, the album is presented in marbled colored pink vinyl, to match its sleeve.
New & Sealed/Unopened! There is a split on the top seam of the cover caused by the record inside trying to cut it's way out in transit (see 3rd & 4th picture). Pictures 1-8 are of the actual item. 9th/final photo is a stock photo showing what the marbled Pink vinyl MAY look like.
