ELTON JOHN THE CLASSIC YEARS Series.
ELTON JOHN is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Elton John, released on 10 April 1970 by DJM Records and by Uni Records in United States. The album was the first release by John in the United States because Empty Sky was not released in the country until 1975. For his second album, John and Taupin hired producer Gus Dudgeon and arranger Paul Buckmaster, who contributed grandiose string charts to ELTON JOHN. Released in the summer of 1970, ELTON JOHN to make inroads in America, where it appeared on MCA's Uni subsidiary. In August, he gave his first American concert at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, which received enthusiastic reviews, as well as praise from Quincy Jones and Leon Russell. Throughout the fall, ELTON JOHN continued to climb the charts on the strength of the Top Ten single "Your Song."

Empty Sky was followed by ELTON JOHN, a more focused and realized record that deservedly became his first hit. John and Bernie Taupin's songwriting had become more immediate and successful; in particular, John's music had become sharper and more diverse, rescuing Taupin's frequently nebulous lyrics. "Take Me To The Pilot" might not make much sense lyrically, but John had the good sense to ground its willfully cryptic words with a catchy blues-based melody. Next to the increased sense of songcraft, the most noticeable change on ELTON JOHN is the addition of Paul Buckmaster's grandiose string arrangements. Buckmaster's orchestrations are never subtle, but they never overwhelm the vocalist, nor do they make the songs schmaltzy. Instead, they fit the ambitions of John and Taupin, as the instant standard "Your Song" illustrates. Even with the strings and choirs that dominate the sound of the album, John manages to rock out on a fair share of the record. Though there are a couple of underdeveloped songs, ELTON JOHN remains one of his best records.
