This edition follows the US LP track listing for the main album and adds "Candle In The Wind" as track 11. ORICON STYLE-ミュージック"[Highest position and charting weeks of Your Song: Greatest Hits (1996 reissue) by Elton John]. No midrange punch, or true instrument separation, it’s actually fairly one dimensional and clearly compressed, however there is a decent soundstage. The word Tracks only appears on side 2 and I am unable to see a version on Discogs that has this difference. yeah, this is far from a audiophile pressing and the likes of Kevin Grey, Bernie Grundman or Bob Ludwig are nowhere to be found.

Although all of its songs are available as downloads, the album is currently out of print, having been superseded by four other greatest hits releases over the years; The Very Best of Elton John in 1990, Greatest Hits 1970–2002 in 2002, Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits in 2007 and Diamonds in 2017.Of the ten selections for the North American album, two (" Crocodile Rock" and " Bennie and the Jets") were No.

All other songs made the Top 40 in the UK and the US, most also making the top ten, with "Bennie and the Jets" and " Crocodile Rock" topping the chart in the States. I used my normal ritual in running it through the Spin Clean then the ultrasonic cleaner and then a zap from the zero stat gun and it was a nice listen. I thought I was getting a bargain, but in the end I have a paper weight that will never see the table again.

The single " Bennie and the Jets", which had topped the charts in both the US and Canada but which had not been released as a single in the United Kingdom at that point, appeared on the American and Canadian edition of the album. In 2003, Greatest Hits was ranked at number 135 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, [9] then was re-ranked at number 136 in a 2012 revised list. In 2000, Universal Music Japan reissued the album under the alternative title Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Released in November 1974, it spans the years 1970 to 1974, compiling ten of John's singles, with one track variation for releases in North America and for Europe and Australia. It topped the album chart in both the United States and the United Kingdom, staying at number one for ten consecutive weeks in the former nation and eleven weeks in the latter.
