Iceni 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Between 1969 and 1970, Elton John recorded a wide range of cover versions as part of his early career as a session musician and budget label contributor, and this new Iceni compilation tracks some of the very best of that era. Working frequently with producer Paul Brooks and arranger Zack Laurence, he lent his vocals to low-cost soundalike records covering contemporary hits. Be these Beatles or Rolling Stones redos, or personal takes on Simon & Garfunkel through Creedence Clearwater Revival, none were widely credited at the time, and yet they reveal John's vocal adaptability and emerging style, revealing a familiarly trodden path for many a musical mega-greats: as did Johnny Cash all the way through to Justin Bieber, you can make a sure start with covers.
