Album Notes
Initial pressings of this first edition contain a bonus disc.Recorded between 1970 & 2002. Includes liner notes by Paul Gambaccini.All tracks have been digitally remastered.Greatest Hits 1970-2002 is a nearly flawless double-disc set commemorating Elton John's three-decade career. Disc one features what may arguably be John's most essential work: Seeing songs such as "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," "Candle in the Wind," and "Bennie and the Jets" -- not to mention "Your Song," "Rocket Man," and "Tiny Dancer" -- lined up back to back reaffirms just how diverse, and yet universal, his songwriting talent is. Disc two finds this talent maturing gracefully into the '80s, '90s, and beyond, touching on pop gems like "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," "I'm Still Standing," and "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" as well as his Lion King classic "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" and the Aida duet "Written in the Stars" with LeAnn Rimes. The collection also finds room for the highlights of his most recent albums, including Made in England's "Believe" and "Blessed," The Big Picture's "Something About the Way You Look Tonight," and Songs from the West Coast's "This Train Don't Stop Here Anymore." For most casual fans, Greatest Hits 1970-2002 will replace the need for collections such as Greatest Hits, Greatest Hits, Vol. 2, and Greatest Hits, Vol. 3, although these collections are still worthwhile as of-their-time retrospectives of John's work. ~ Heather Phares

Elton's Best at a Single Package
Created: 10/08/07
) 
In the sea of existing Elton's "Greatest Hits" compilations, this 2-CD set is the one that better resumes his career's highlights in my opinion (surely not considering the post-2002 releases). No need to wonder which one of all those available today to choose from.
Personally, I found this release more complete than the others since includes not only his most meaningful hits (although I know a "Greatest Hits" doesn't necessarily include his best songs), but also a booklet which tells interesting facts about his career, including a bunch of photographs from his early years. By the content found both on the CDs and the booklet, one might think - not without a reason - that this release was made targeting specially the US market.
My favorites are: "Your Song", "Crocodile Rock", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Philadelphia Freedom", "Little Jeannie", "Sad Songs" and "Circle of Life". Today, this compilation costs a little more than the price of a single CD, contains 34 songs, so it's an interesting purchase from the cost-benefit standpoint. It's worth the investment.

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Greatest HIts -Elton John-1970-2002

) The CD's are all I expected them to be. Elton John is one of the greatest performers/pianists/musician's I've had the opportunity to listen to, during my early years of piano & music lessons. I enjoy his creative nature-especially the songs from the movie, "THE LION KING", his love for Princess Diana & the one he performed at her memorial service..his emotions go into the music he produces & writes, he's a very talented human & I feel blessed to been on earth during this time. Ebay his provided us with some great deals.
Thank You for the CD..

Elton John-Greatest Hits 1970-2002
Created: 19/02/09
) Beginning with Elton John's first album, it was apparent that he was destined to be one of the greatest singer-songwriters of our time.Never mind his eccentricities,Elton has maintained his musical integrity and soared again and again with masterfully-wtitten tunes and a wonderfully unique voice.A great album for any Elton John fan.

) A Fabulous Collection of all of Elton John's Greatest Hits. Go down memory lane of the seventies pop british artist who reigned the sound industry way past into the 80's and 90's. A great collection to listen to always!
All the best from the best.
