Truly Rare Tracks, Good Recording
The first thing I noticed was that it contains the soundtrack from the movie Friends. This 2 cd collection contains many unreleased songs; many of which you probably heard on tv, or radio. It also contains Skyline Pigeon. It also has a few versions of songs that were available on other albums, but these are rough initial demos. This includes Grey Seal and Madman Across the Water. You can see how the songs progress from these basic arrangements. Any fan of Elton will enjoy this cd. It has a bunch of mournful ballads, with a few slow rocks songs. It also has a couple of tracks with John Lennon. This is a must-have for the Elton John fan. This album seems to capture some of the best John/Taupin collaboration.


LOVE "Elton John: Rare Masters!"
I loved the "Friends" soundtrack, but only had that on vinyl, too. This two CD set is awesome! Some of these songs were "B" sides to singles that I listened to growing up--I thought I would never get to hear them again. And then getting to hear the early U. K. singles and different versions of some favorite songs has been SO enjoyable. It's a must-have for any true Elton John fan. . . as I have been for more than 30 years.


great Elton John
This Elton John complilation is a must have. . . some of his best efforts from before the 'stage' struck them.


Friends Soundtrack by Elton John
The music was done by Elton John and includes some great songs. I wanted the soundtrack to the movie "Friends". The original album is hard to find and because it is a bit of a collectors' item can be expensive. Rare Masters provides the entire Friends soundtrack and includes much more of his early music. I am very pleased with my purchase.


Old friends with Elton John
This double CD set has all the Friends tracks, plus other lesser-known songs. I found this album when looking for Elton John's Friends, which I loved in high school. I enjoyed most of the tracks, but since they were not bit hits when they came out, I am not familiar with them, and I find that I listen only to the Friends tracks. If you like listening to unusual, 'B-side' tracks, this is a great album, but if like me you are looking for Friends, consider purchasing just the Friends album if you can find it.
