Elton John- JUMP UP!- CD- 1982/2003- Mercury Records Ltd.- 044007711224- 400 grn
JUMP UP! is the sixteenth studio album by English musician Elton John. It was released in April 9, 1982 by The Rocket Record Company except in the US and Canada, where it was released by Geffen Records. The album was recorded and mixed digitally at AIR Studios in Montserrat, and Pathe Marconi Studios in France. This is the 2003 EU-only remastered edition of John's 1982 album, "Jump Up!" which contained the hit singles "Blue Eyes" and "Empty Garden", a tribute to the then-recently deceased John Lennon. Previously available since 1983 on CD in Europe on the Rocket/Phonogram label, in 2003, John's company, Rocket, in association with Mercury/Universal Records, reissued the album on CD, remastered by Gary Moore. It had no bonus tracks but did include many new and previously released photographs of John during the early 1980s, full lyrics and snapshots of the cover art for the album's singles, along with liner notes by John Tobler.

JUMP UP! was Elton John's first full LP to have been recorded in the 1980s, and is best remembered for including "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)," John and lyricist Bernie Taupin's tribute to the their slain friend John Lennon. While the pair had been writing together again, albeit infrequently, since the late '70s, John continued to include material written with his primary non-Taupin collaborator, Gary Osborne. The latter team had previously scored big with "Little Jeannie" on John's 21 AT 33, and to a lesser degree with the noir ballad "Chloe" from The Fox. However, on JUMP UP!, the quality of material ranges from the absurd and inane "I Am Your Robot" and the insipid breakup opener "Dear John" to the sublime beauty of "Blue Eyes" and the cathartic value of the aforementioned "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)." The dramatic "Legal Boys" is an understated masterpiece, marking the first public effort between John and Sir Tim Rice. The pair would garner Tony and Grammy awards 12 years later for their work on the original motion picture soundtrack to the animated feature film The Lion King. John's backing band includes many of the same musicians who contributed to his most recent recordings. Representing the "classic" personnel are Dee Murray (bass) and post-Captain Fantastic recruit James Newton-Howard (keyboards). Fleshing out the core combo are studio guitarist extraordinaire Richie Zito and Toto drummer (and another highly regarded session heavy) Jeff Porcaro. Steve Holly, who worked with Wings as well as John circa A Single Man, guests on the tracks "I Am Your Robot" and "Ball & Chain," the latter also featuring guest guitarist Pete Townshend. While far from a total washout, JUMP UP! would remain tethered in the wake of the follow-up, Too Low For Zero, marking a reunion between John and both his "classic" 1970s combo and Taupin.
