Honky Chateau 50th anniversary edition


Elton John released an anniversary edition of the sublime album Honky Chateau, with all songs remastered. 

But the best part for me is the inclusion of studio demos. Take a listen to the studio demo versions of Rocket Man and Honky Cat (or L’honky Chat as he calls it in the take they recorded). The sound is much less processed and much more organic than the final releases, and Honky Cat even features a much louder mix of the banjo channel, which is absolutely perfect. Treat yourself to this edition everywhere good music is streamed or sold.
