ELTON JOHN THE CLASSIC YEARS Series.
THE ONE is the twenty-third studio album by British recording artist Elton John, released on 22nd June 1992. It was recorded at Studio Guillaume Tell in Paris, produced by Chris Thomas and managed by John Reid. The album was dedicated to Vance Buck, and its cover artwork was designed by Gianni Versace. Briton and pop singer Elton John has sold over 300 million records over the course of his 40-year musical career. Many albums went Gold and Platinum. And to all this, a curtsy of fate - a broken finger ... Because of which Elton John could not become an outstanding pianist, studying at the Royal Conservatory to play the piano. The album THE ONE is one of the best works of the maestro, which has collected, if not 100% hits, then simply magnificent songs. And the song "Runaway Train", performed by a duet with Eric Clapton, can hardly be called a hit ... it's just a masterpiece! On top of that, THE ONE is a remastered reissue with crystal clear sound!

Elton John once claimed that he could remember THE ONE among his latter-day albums because it was the first he recorded without drugs or alcohol. If true [and there's no reason to doubt him] that could be the reason why this has more character than most of his albums since the early '80s, holding together well in its deliberately measured, mature songcraft by Elton and Bernie Taupin. There's less gloss than on many of his late-'80s records, and John gives a fairly convincing performance throughout this set of pretty good songs. If there's any real problem, it's that the album just doesn't have many memorable songs. Though they're all reasonably melodic and well-crafted, none of the them have memorable musical or lyrical hooks and, if anything, Chris Thomas' production is too evenhanded. Still, even if it isn't memorable, it does represent a meaningful move forward, just because it does sound warmer and more considered than the records that immediately preceded it.
