Blue Moves

Remastered 180 Gram Double Vinyl with Download. All tracks remastered from the original analogue tapes by Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering, Portland, Maine, with vinyl cutting by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios, London. Artwork faithfully reproduced from original archive material. Blue Moves was the second double album Elton John recorded that was released in September 1976, a three-year gap after the classic 1973 double album, Goodbye Yellowbrick Road. Some of his best, most sophisticated (and underrated) songs; mastery of a bewildering variety of styles; some of his best singing; a brilliant and sympathetic band; superb production by Gus Dudgeon (an all-time best); vocal arrangements by Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys; Crosby / Nash on backing vocals; the Brecker Brothers on horns. The whole thing plays like a widescreen epic aural movie and throws in a gospel choir, the LSO, sitars and instrumentals.
