Elton John - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

[BootinUp]

Tip: Take a couple hits first

1. Which was actually a single-only, first released on LP for Elton's Greatest Hits Volume 2 circa 1978

It was put on CF&BDC in a much later CD remaster version as a bonus track, along with Philadelphia Freedom and a Lennon cover. I presume cause they're recorded at the same time period but not sure.

But I distinctly remember being like 10 and my old man buying GH2 cause it had this cover (he was a Beatles and Elton fan) which he'd waited to be able to buy on an album for many years. It was definitely not on original Captain Fantastic album, cause I played his copy to death

It IS one of the greatest covers ever, and that's tough to do with the Beatles, lets face it

2. Far superior to the Beatles version IMO

I also think that Elton's Pinball Wizard was much better than the Who's

3. It would be cool if the Beatles or John talked about that or to each other. nt

4. They performed it together at Madison Square Gardens
