ABOUT THE RECORD Made in England, by Elton John, was produced by him and Greg Penny, the first time since Leather Jackets without Chris Thomas. It was dedicated to John's boyfriend and future husband David Furnish. It was also dedicated to the memory of Denis Gauthier and Peter Williams. It was the last album to feature regular percussionist Ray Cooper until 2016's Wonderful Crazy Night. Bob Birch became John's full-time recording and touring bass player and continued that role until his death in 2012. The song Please was covered by bluegrass queen Rhonda Vincent and country legend Dolly Parton for the 2018 tribute album Restoration: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. While still promoting his work for The Lion King soundtrack, in September 1994, five months before its release as a single, Elton John debuted Believe during the opening night of a concert tour with Ray Cooper in Phoenix, AZ. Believe reached No. 15 in the UK and No. 13 in the US, and was the only American hit from the album to reach the top 20. A few special notes about some of the songs: on Belfast, the song originally ended simply with John singing the last line, Belfast. In an interview with fan magazine East End Lights some time later, arranger Paul Buckmaster (in his first project with John since 1978's A Single Man) said he thought the song needed a more uplifting end, and added the outro, making it sound as if it were being played in an Irish pub somewhere up the road. John reportedly was initially wary of the idea, but Buckmaster said he changed his mind upon hearing it and approved the new coda for the final version; George Martin, who owned AIR Studios London where the album was recorded, wrote the horn and string arrangement on Latitude; and John and Guy Babylon are credited as arrangers on Man, which also includes organ by Squeeze and Mike + The Mechanics front-man Paul Carrack.
