Introduction:
For the follow-up album, Elton John, John and Taupin enlisted Gus Dudgeon as producer and Paul Buckmaster as musical arranger. Elton John was released in the April 1970 on DJM Records/Pye Records in the UK and Uni Records in the USA, and established the formula for subsequent albums; gospel-chorded rockers and poignant ballads. It includes his breakthrough hit, "Your Song", and helped establish his career during what was considered the "singer-songwriter" era of popular music. The album was remastered as a multichannel Super Audio CD in 2004. When MCA Records re-issued this album on cassette tape in the 1980s, "I Need You To Turn To" and "The Cage" were swapped in the album running order.
Achievements:
The first single from the album, "Border Song", made into the US Top 100, peaking at No: 92. The second single "Your Song" made the US Top Ten, peaking at No: 8 and becoming Elton John's first hit single as a singer. The album soon became his first hit album, reaching No: 4 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
