Yowzer that's a lot of yellow brick road! One of my top ten albums.

I hope there is a 2CD version-that's all.

Who the hell would want modern artists doing covers included?

There is, Pete. Pre-order link for that (and all versions) can be found in the first post now, along with a much larger version of the Super Deluxe package.

Guys, literally in the last minute Amazon UK dropped their pre-order price for the Super Deluxe Edition by £22, and now it's about $25 cheaper than the American price including postage. Lock it in:

Don't particularly care for the modern artist covers, but the live disc and the doc should be worth it.

At that price I'm locked and loaded!

Rick A.

Damn it. I really want the live discs, but disc 2 is a complete waste for me, as I have everything (or almost everything) on it, except for the modern covers, which I don't even want in my house.

For once the high res ( suposably 5.1 mix included ) BluRay is sold seperatly.

I am surprised they did not include the 5.1 tracks in some format on the box set.

A disc of covers in one of these expensive box sets has to be an all time low for the music industry. And that takes in a lot of territory. I'll pass on this.

It's already up over £30 this morning.

It was that last night when I added it to my cart.

Getting the Blu ray version for sure.

Just bought the deluxe at Amazon UK for £28.00.

I followed my Librarians advice

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road[Audio CD]
By: Elton John
Condition: New
Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L. £25.16

I'm with Dano on this...it's the live CD's I would love to have. Maybe they'll release it as a stand alone CD set.

In as well - thanks Linda!

Neither do I and who the hell thought the 2CD version should ignore the b-sides and non album singles BUT include the frickin' modern covers? Fall Out Boy? Fuck no.

Awful-they will get not a penny from me on this and that uberbox has too much I wouldn't want.

This is just half-assed, lame-brained conception. Perfect for the dying record industry.

As I write this it is still £25.16 after they remove the VAT and before they add shipping. So, we've all been locking in at the same price. Thanks Linda!

What a bizarre way to do the 2CD version... the second disc should be the same as that from the big box.

I just picked up the SHM SACD of GYBR from CDJapan, otherwise I probably would have gone for this. I just don't have any use for covers by Ed Sheeran, Miguel, and those other acts.
I'm becoming more enamored with the SHM SACD's and picked up 4 others with the Elton John.

Though I don't need the covers, all of the other stuff makes it worth it for me. This is one packaging grab that I like. I adore the album and the look of the package (with that price.....well under $100) makes it ok.
