wow this is pretty awesome. just looked at the track list and was really hoping to see Shoorah on there... :(
 
My logic is that any SDE release that also offers video content is not strictly a 'pure audio' disc. So #15 Soft Cell, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret is another candidate ;)
You may remember that during UMG’s short-lived HFPA initiative, Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet was issued in the white HFPA case even though the disc included video content as well.
 
I think Rock of the westies was his last great album, Blue moves was the last album I bought of his at the time
Blue Moves is Steven Wilson’s favourite EJ album, maybe it’s on his list of possible surround remixes, especially given the appearance of Elton John on The Future Bites. You never know….
 
very little from Don't Shoot Me or Caribou.

I have all the other surround mixes up to Cpt Fantastic already. Not interested in the after-stuff, so: Pass.

(actually, if there's a new surround mix of 'Philadelphia Freedom' that isn't as stupendously loud as the current one, I might be interested.)

Like @AYanguas I'm more of a prog guy, but I mean, this is Elton.
What memories…

When I was a teenager in the 70's and was only a prog fan, a friend of mine (pop, beatles and the like) introduced me to Elton John with the majestic “Funeral for a Friend” from Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. And I said: But wait… this is symphonic rock!

Then I told my little sister about Elton John and she understood that I was talking about “The Tom Jones” (In Spanish said: “El Tom Jon”) :ROFLMAO:
 
Although I own 5 multichannel sacds covering most of his 70's output I really like, I'll probably still get this. Frankly, it's the hits I enjoy most about Elton's music so there are a lot of tracks I regularly skip over on full length albums. Having such a huge cherry picked greatest hits set, most of which I don't own and mixed in Atmos, is pretty much a dream release for this artist, for me. Damn, every time I think I'm out, Paul/SDE pulls me back in. :censored:
