Description
Regimental Sgt. Zippo is the legendary "album that never was" for Elton John. Signed to DJM as an artist in early 1968, he cut 12 tracks at DJM Studios in London's New Oxford Street for a debut album that was never released. As part of the excavation of material for Elton's Jewel Box collection, the original running order was located. After the success of its limited release in mono for Record Store Day 2021, it is now available on CD and contains both stereo and mono mixes.

Tracklist
1. When I Was Tealby Abbey
2. And The Clock Goes Round
3. Sitting Doing Nothing
4. Turn To Me
5. Angel Tree
6. Regimental Sgt. Zippo
7. A Dandelion Dies In The Wind
8. You’ll Be Sorry To See Me Go
9. You’re My Woman (aka Nina)
10. Tartan Coloured Lady
11. Hourglass
12. Watching The Planes Go By

Interesting. If the "STEREO" on the cover art is correct, then this CD has the stereo mix, while last year's Record Store Day vinyl release had the mono mix.

Clarification from Universal (which I've also added to the first post) -- the CD will contain both the stereo and mono versions. :thumbsup:

I can understand why it was shelved in 68 as the spirit of the album was about a year too late...which is a shame as I really like the whole British Psychedelia scene. Looking forward to it for sure!
