Tumbleweed Connection: Exclusive Green Vinyl + Come Down In Time (Jazz Version): Exclusive 10" + Slipmat

ELTON JOHN

Released in the UK in October 1970, Tumbleweed Connection is a much-loved album within Elton John’s back catalogue. Steeped in what was to become known as ‘Americana’, it was written and recorded entirely in London in March 1970. Although released afterwards, it was actually recorded before Your Song had become a hit and before Elton’s triumphant debut performances at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. Its iconic sepia sleeve evokes a long-forgotten west, and contains some of Elton and Bernie Taupin’s greatest early songs: Ballad Of A Well-Known Gun, Burn Down The Mission and Amoreena. This strictly limited 180gm green vinyl edition celebrates the album’s 50th Anniversary and provides a timely reminder of Elton on his journey to superstardom.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of his seminal album ‘Tumbleweed Connection’, Elton John unveils a previously unheard jazz version of ‘Come Down In Time’. Limited to just 5,000 copies world wide of 10” vinyl, ‘Come Down In Time (Jazz Version)’ hadn’t been heard for close to 5 decades until this year, when it was uncovered deep in the archives whilst researching rarities for Elton’s forthcoming boxset ‘Elton John – Jewel Box.
Recorded on 20th March 1970 at London’s Trident Studios, ‘Come Down In Time (Jazz Version)’ more than doubles the length of the final version (re-recorded 3 months later with different musicians) that appears on ‘Tumbleweed Connection’.
