Our Take

Elton John, the piano-playing pop genius, is no stranger to reinventing the wheel. But Chartbusters Go Pop - Legendary Covers 69-70 (Gold Vinyl) sees Elton taking on a new challenge: covering some of the greatest hits of the '60s and '70s in his own iconic style.

From the opening track, a rollicking rendition of The Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", to the soulful take on The Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women", Elton John proves that he can put his own unique spin on just about anything.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. Elton's cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" falls flat, lacking the emotional depth of the original. And his version of The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" feels strangely disconnected, as if Elton is singing from a distance.

Despite these missteps, Chartbusters Go Pop is a fun, quirky journey through some of the greatest hits of the past. Elton's signature vocals and piano skills shine on tracks like Stevie Wonder's "For Once in My Life", giving them a new life and energy.

Overall, Elton John's Chartbusters Go Pop is a mixed bag, but one that is worth a listen for fans of the legendary singer. So grab your gold vinyl and give it a spin – you might just find yourself tapping your feet and singing along to these legendary covers.
