Production on the album was started in Jamaica in January 1973, but due to difficulties with the sound system and the studio piano, logistical issues arising from the Joe Frazier– George Foreman boxing match taking place in Kingston, and protests over the political and economic situation in the country, the band decided to move before any productive work was done.

Candle In The Wind is a beautiful melancholic ballad that honours the life of Marilyn Monroe and displays John's emotive vocals as well as Bernie Taupin's touching lyrics. Even the 1997 version, altered lyrically for Princess Diana's funeral, is beyond reproach.Under the working titles of Vodka and Tonics and Silent Movies, Talking Pictures, Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics in two and a half weeks, with John composing most of the melodies in three days while staying at the Pink Flamingo Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica. [7] John had wanted to go to Jamaica, in part because the Rolling Stones had just recorded Goats Head Soup there. [8] Moon, Tom (2008). 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die.

This is the best pressing that I own of GYBR, even though I own the Speakers Corner version, which is also very very good, but this 1978 reissue is superb and can probably only be surpassed by a first pressing (as is usually the case). This reissue is highly recommended by me and is now my "go to" copy. With respect to the yellow vinyl itself, please don't be put off by this - it does not hamper the sound quality in the slightest.
