Still Standing... Also Musically.......2003-10-28
When Universal released the Elton John Greatest Hits 1970-2002, the U.S. version seemed as if it was a joke, largely because there were just too many good songs that were overlooked. Ironically, that went exactly the same for the import from Britain. The British version had a little difference in its lineup with songs like Kiss The Bride, Blue Eyes and Elton John's 1978 Insturmental Song For Guy. Still, the record doesn't have a few songs the U.S. version has like Blessed and Little Jeannie. Still, there are so many good songs on the take including Believe, Sad Songs (Say So Much), and Your Song. Speaking of the collection, it happens to be the Bonus CD that makes this collection a little bit better, with three of the songs that were on a special Bonus CD that was issued on the U.S. version. Sadly, that Bonus CD was pulled. This one does have a lot more to play around with with three of the songs from the U.S. bonus CD, Your Song, Live Like Horses, and Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (with George Michael). The only song that wasn't included in this Bonus CD was Elton's live performance of Candle In The Wind in 1987.
However, there are 11 songs added to this mix including some that were really overlooked on the U.S. version including True Love, his duet with Kiki Dee from no longer issued Duets record, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, his cover of The Beatles hit, I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That, not released on the U.K. version of this collection, but as a bonus, as well as classics like Border Song, and his cover of The Who's Pinball Wizard, which he performed in the movie, Tommy. There are also a couple of new editions to this collection, including a remake of Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word (with Blue), and Are You Ready For Love, and unreleased song from 1979. The song recently took off here on the Billboard charts, but only as a single.
