Fun track with a New Orleansy horn section in its outroĪ Single Man, Too Low for Zero and Ice on Fire's re-masters features all the B-sides from the period, though I can't say 100 % they sound exactly as they did on the original 45. Should have appeared on the album, which is more or less Ice on Fire II - especially these B-sides I owned this 12" and enjoyed these B-sides very much.
An instrumental synth track, used to be the walk-on music on his 1985/86 world tourīilly and the Kids - B-side to Slow Rivers. Highlander - B-side to Heartache All Over the World. Average song, but still OKĪ Simple Man - B-side to Sad Songs (Say So Much). I briefly owned this 12" which also had an extended mix of Passengers. 2 minutes of piano boogie woogie madness with EJ's foot cemented on the sustain pedal for whatever reason Recorded with his then-reunited touring band, Davey, Dee and Nigel, different to the album version which is more sort-of upbeat Philly soul, slick productionĬhoc Ice Goes Mental - B-side to I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues. Where Have All the Good Times Gone (Re-Mix) - B-side to All Quiet on the Western Front.

Also appeared on a soundtrack to a movie the same year, which exists on LP and maybe cassette - but not CD.
Take Me Down to the Ocean - B-side to Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny). Not sure if it has appeared on CD or not (French versions, VA best of's?) J'Veux de la Tendresse - French version of Nobody Wins. Think it wasn't released in UK until the Breaking Hearts eraĬan't Get Over Getting Over Losing You - B-side to Just Like Belgium. Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever, a duet with Kiki Dee, came out in 1981 and I don't know if it has appeared on a Kiki CD.įools in Fashion - B-side to Nobody Wins - awesome track I have never owned this set, sadly, so I have never heard it. It's B-side, Donner Pour Donner, appeared on the To Be Continued box set. Non-album stuff: Les Aveux with France Gall.
#Elton john the measure of a man tv
Instrumental track, used in a snooker (billiards) TV program, I think Steal Away Child - B-side to Dear God - lovely song Love So Cold - B-side to Dear God - fun track (Dear God was released as a 2x7" set with this & the song below on a disc for itself) White Man Danger - B-side to Sartorial Eloquence - cool organ soloĬartier Commercial - B-side to Sartorial Eloquence - a brief sort-of sarcastic song about Cartier The Goaldigger's Song - a football charity thing, not that many copies pressed, B-side is banter between Elton & some football managers (I think)Ĭonquer the Sun - B-side to Little Jeannie - great track Snow Queen (with Kiki Dee) - B-side to Don't Go Breaking My Heart Off the top of my head, these tracks have never appeared on CD: I don't wanna go on with you like that (extended)īetween 19 Elton released a lot of singles, many of which had unique B-sides. I don't wanna go on with you like that (Just for radio mix) I don't wanna go on with you like that (Just Elton and his piano mix) I don't wanna go on with you like that (Pub dub mix) I don't wanna go on with you like that (Shep Pettibone mix) Wrap her up (extended version 12") (1985) I heard it thrugh the grapevine (live at Wembley) (1984) Sad songs (say so much) (12" version) (1984) For completeness sake, just mentioning that Act of War is on CD, but I'd need to check if that goes for all parts.Īnd how about gathering up all those duets on a second volume of that one.Ĭan't get over getting over losing you (1981)
Or maybe even a box that also compiles the bunch of songs Elton contributed to soundtracks, tribute albums etc. Again I'd sure like to see them all collected on a Rare Masters part 2 set. Do correct me !įrom the late 80's onward, most, if not all, non-album tracks turned up on CD singles/EPs. Either way, going over Elton's discography, the top of my head selected the following for not being on any album. First a 45 that isn't really "Elton" but I'd sure welcome it on a CD somewhere.
