Elton John : Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

 is the

 seventh 

studio album

 by 

Elton John

 released in 1973.

 The album proved

 to be extremely popular, 

selling over 

30 million 

copies worldwide, 

and is regarded 

as one of his best.

 It was recorded at

 the Château d'Hérouville

 in France 

after problems recording 

at the intended location

 of Jamaica. 

Among the

 17 tracks, 

the album contains

 the hits

 "Candle in the Wind",

 "Bennie and the Jets"

, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" 

and

 "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" 

plus

 "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" 

and

 "Harmony".

Originally intended

 to be a 

regular single album, 

the move to 

the château 

from Jamaica 

provided John 

and his band 

with a great deal

 of creative inspiration, 

and an abundance of

 quality material 

was produced. 

This situation led

 to the decision to

 release the

 new material as

 a double album
