This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.

One of Elton John's many 1970s pop gems, CAPTAIN FANTASTIC & THE DIRT BROWN COWBOY is a classic album filled with well-written, catchy tunes. The most famous song from this record is the radio hit, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." A bitter tune about a badly entangled relationship, John's lyric rejoices in an 11th-hour triumph of freedom.

CAPTAIN FANTASTIC also features John's well-known version of the Lennon/McCartney favorite "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." John maintains the eccentric sonic elements of this tune, but makes it more dramatic and operatic, particularly as the song's refrain loops on and on towards the ending. "Writing" is another highlight on this disc; Latin-influenced, upbeat, and bubbly, this number contains some quirky bongo playing and a light, care-free lyric centered on the actual process of composing songs. Without a doubt, John and partner Bernie Taupin were one of the best songwriting duos in rock history, and many of their finer collaborations are captured on this 1975 release.

Personnel: Elton John (vocals, electric piano, harpsichord, Clavinet, Mellotron, ARP synthesizer); John Lennon (guitar); Davey Johnstone (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, mandolin, piano, background vocals); David Hentschel (ARP synthesizer); Dee Murray (bass guitar, background vocals); Nigel Olsson (drums, background vocals); Ray Cooper (congas, bongos, cymbals, Jew's harp, tambourine, triangle, bells, hand bells, gong).

5 stars Elton Hasn't Sounded Better
Kudos to the production crew of not only this album; but, all of the SCAD audios available by this beloved artist. We need all of Elton's albums transferred to this digital surround sound format.The mixing, transfers and DSD editing are impeccable. If you want sound, and lyrics of an extraordinary artist, with technology to extoll his creativeness, this is it!

5 stars BELIEVE all the reviews you read about this SACD !!!
A lot of SACDs don't really make it to the proclaimed hype about the format but the rare exceptions that do are exemplary. The LP version I have of this release is a pristine copy on the now defunct UK DJM label, along with my other EJ favourite "Tumbleweed Connection" on a Japanese Toshiba/EMI vinyl release have been blown to bits by these SACD releases. The "freshness" of these early releases from EJ's repertoire really "startled" me to say the least. Whoever did the remastering of these timeless classics from those old master tapes has done an absolutely splendid job. All the other comments about this SACD are correct. So BELIEVE.

5 stars What was good in the past - is great in this release
I have owned 3 copies of this album in vinyl and one in CD. The CD was quiet but... Each vinyl record had it own noise but the sound was better. The SACD sounds like vinyl but with more detail and dynamic range. I love this album for the great range of sound and many little sounds in the background

Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy album
CD $15.39  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Elton John's second album was his first to be released in the U.S., and the difference between it and its predecessor, EMPTY SKY, is palpable and immediate. ELTON JOHN opens with "Your Song," a halting ballad that is one of the most moving love songs in the modern pop canon. The album also marks John's fruitful association with Gus Dudgeon and arranger Paul Buckmaster (who'd previously collaborated on David Bowie's "Space Oddity"). The team came up with a spare orchestral sound that surrounds the singer and his piano with dashes of both classical ...

CD $16.05  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. By the time Elton John went to France to cut HONKY CHATEAU in 1972, he had already become the first act since the Beatles to land four albums in the American Top 10 simultaneously. Up to that point, John had performed in a trio rounded out by bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson. The addition of guitarist Davey Johnstone on HONKY CHATEAU added another dimension to the overall sound. The results were successful, as the nonsensical "Honky Cat" and the Bowie-inspired "Rocket Man" became John's first Top 10 hits ...

CD $15.89  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER produced only a couple of minor hits, which may have something to do with the fact that its best songs are all five or six minutes long. But they're among the strongest songs in the entire Elton John catalog--especially the lovely opening track, "Tiny Dancer," which builds from a light, delicately melodic verse to a sweeping, dramatic chorus. Another highlight is the inscrutably biographic "Levon," whose title character was born "on a Christmas day when the New York ...

This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players. Recorded in the charmed period between the initial success of ELTON JOHN and superstar extravaganzas like GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD, TUMBLEWEED CONNECTION, a loose concept album about the American West, was a strange, sideways move for Elton John and songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. A album in the traditional sense, it is best heard as a piece, with songs that pick up and expand on each other's moods and settings. Notice, for example, the progression of characters from the young fighter waving "My Father's Gun," to the retired and forgotten "Talking Old Soldiers," to the protagonist of "Where To Now St. Peter?," shot down ...
