180g Vinyl LP Features Honky Cat & Rocket Man!

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 251/500!


Originally released in 1972, Honky Chateau is a rollicking collection of ballads, rockers, blues, country-rock, and soul songs. Elton John is at the top of his form, crafting immaculate pop songs with memorable melodies and powerful hooks. Breakout hits include "Honky Cat" and "Rocket Man." Remastered on 180 gram heavyweight vinyl.

"What makes Honky Chateau a classic is the songcraft, and the way John ties disparate strands of roots music into distinctive and idiosyncratic pop -- it's one of the finest collections of mainstream singer/songwriter pop of the early '70s." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com

"After a couple of weightier singer-songwriter outings, it was delightful to hear John revel in the simple pop pleasures of 'Honky Cat.' Written in five days, and using his signature touring band for the first time, Honky Château is a snapshot of an artist loosening up and coming into his full powers." - rollingstone.com
