Madman Across The Water was largely written after Elton had made his initial foray to America; offering the opportunity for lyricist Bernie Taupin to witness first-hand the landscapes and people he’d only seen on a screen or on the page. Recorded at Trident Studios in Central London in February and August 1971, it was the first album where all five players of Elton’s fabled band line up – Dee Murray, Nigel Olsson, Davey Johnstone and Ray Cooper – were featured, albeit not on the same tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile the UK were still deciding about Elton, these nine tracks struck a chord with Elton’s US audiences, reaching the Top 10 and its singles, ‘Levon’ and ‘Tiny Dancer’ both hit the US Top 50. After years as a ‘best kept secret’ to Elton’s fans, ‘Tiny Dancer’ has gone on to become one of his most loved songs, third only to Rocket Man and Your Song in global streaming lists. Capturing the headiness of California at the time of Elton’s first US concerts, the song was used to phenomenal effect in Cameron Crowe’s 2000 film Almost Famous.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis celebration of the album to mark its 50th anniversary comes in four different formats. All formats contain Bob Ludwig’s definitive 2016 remaster of the main album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe box set includes a 40-page booklet with introductions by Elton and Bernie, photos and essay featuring interviews with many who helped make Madman Across The Water, plus a reproduction 1971-poster, as well as memorabilia and artwork taken from the Rocket Archive.\u003cbr\u003e\nLP ONE: Madman Across The Water Remastered Album\u003cbr\u003e\nLP TWO \u0026amp; THREE: Demos, Live and Alternative versionsL\u003cbr\u003e\nLP FOUR: BBC Sounds For Saturday concert, first broadcast in 1972.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLabel\u003cbr\u003e\nUniversal\u003cbr\u003e\nGenre\u003cbr\u003e\nPop \u0026amp; Rock LP - SIDE A: 2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster\u003cbr\u003e\nTiny Dancer (2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e\nLevon (2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e\nRazor Face (2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e\nMadman Across The Water (2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e\nLP - SIDE B: 2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster\u003cbr\u003e\nIndian Sunset (2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e\nHoliday Inn (2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e\nRotten Peaches (2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e\nAll The Nasties (2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e\nLP - SIDE C: Demos, Live and Alternative versions\u003cbr\u003e\nIndian Sunset (Live Radio Broadcast)\u003cbr\u003e\nMadman Across The Water (Original Version, featuring Mick Ronson)\u003cbr\u003e\nRock Me When He's Gone\u003cbr\u003e\nLevon (Mono Single Version)\u003cbr\u003e\nGoodbye (2016 Bob Ludwig Remaster)\u003cbr\u003e\nLP - SIDE D: Demos, Live and Alternative versions\u003cbr\u003e\nRazor Face (Extended Version)\u003cbr\u003e\nRock Me When He's Gone (Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nRock Me When He's Gone (Full Version)\u003cbr\u003e\nLP - SIDE E: Demos, Live and Alternative versions\u003cbr\u003e\nMadman Across The Water (1970 Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nTiny Dancer (Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nLevon (Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nRazor Face (Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nMadman Across The Water (1971 Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nLP - SIDE F: Demos, Live and Alternative versions\u003cbr\u003e\nIndian Sunset (Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nHoliday Inn (Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nRotten Peaches (Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nAll The Nasties (Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nGoodbye (Piano Demo)\u003cbr\u003e\nLP - SIDE G: BBC Sounds For Saturday concert, first broadcast in 1972.\u003cbr\u003e\nTiny Dancer (BBC Sounds For Saturday)\u003cbr\u003e\nRotten Peaches (BBC Sounds For Saturday)\u003cbr\u003e\nRazor Face (BBC Sounds For Saturday)\u003cbr\u003e\nHoliday Inn (BBC Sounds For Saturday)\u003cbr\u003e\nLP - SIDE H: BBC Sounds For Saturday concert, first broadcast in 1972.\u003cbr\u003e\nIndian Sunset (BBC Sounds For Saturday)\u003cbr\u003e\nLevon (BBC Sounds For Saturday)\u003cbr\u003e\nMadman Across The Water (BBC Sounds For Saturday)\u003cbr\u003e\nGoodbye (BBC Sounds For Saturday)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNIVERAL PICTURES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50024945713345,"sku":"3583618","price":179.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6482\/1953\/files\/411312-Product-0-I-638917017029876507.jpg?v=1772410502","url":"https:\/\/techsupplyshed.co.nz\/products\/madman-across-the-water-50th-anniversary-edition-vinyl-box-set-by-john-elton","provider":"TECH SUPPLY SHED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
