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

Analog Planet Rated 9/10 Music, 9/10 Sonics!

Released in May 1972, Honky Chateau is the fifth studio album by Elton John, which includes singles "Rocket Man" and "Honky Cat." Named after the eighteenth-century Château d'Herouville outside Paris where it was recorded, this 50th anniversary edition contains the original album and a newly created selection of outtakes from the original session tapes. Includes an eight-page booklet containing rare photos, memorabilia and an essay featuring interviews from those who were there at the time.

If you love the album and have played out your old U.S. copy — on either UNI or those later, inferior pressings on MCA — this new UMC edition will no doubt be a major improvement. Even if you have an original UK copy of Honky Château, chances are you will want this version for the bonus session outtakes alone. Either way, the $37.99 SRP seems like a very fair deal to me — and a great way to celebrate such a wonderful, career-making album.
