Description:

After the rapturous reception for Jewel Box, Rocket/UMC/EMI are honoured to announce a strictly limited one-off bringing together of Elton Johnâ??s fabled Regimental Sgt Zippo album that was slated for release in 1968, but ultimately shelved. For one day only, we enter a parallel universe where this, not Empty Sky, would have been Elton Johnâ??s debut album. Recorded at Dick James Studios in Central London between late 1967 and Spring 1968, six of the 12 songs were released on Jewel Box, but five are here in their finished versions for the first time and a debut release for Youâ??ll Be Sorry To See Me Go. Overseen with customary forensic attention to details by Eltonâ??s archive team, RSZ is an absolute feast for fans of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. - .. SGT. ZIPPO / STEREO VERSION

Elton John -"Regimental Sgt. Zippo" Regimental Sgt. Zippo is the legendary "album that never was" for Elton John. Signed to DJM as an artist in early 1968, he cut 12 tracks at DJM Studios in London's New Oxford Street for a debut album that was never released. As part of the excavation of material for Elton's Jewel Box collection, the original running order was located. After the success of it's limited release in mono for Record Store Day 2021, the stereo mix is now available on LP with a printed inner bad with lyrics.

Comes with a printed black and white inner sleeve that has lyrics and some credits on one side and an Elton John illustration on the other. Some copies include a voucher to download a free digital album.
