Rarely has a greatest-hits collection been as effective as Elton John's first compilation of Greatest Hits. Released at the end of 1974, after Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Caribou had effectively established him as a superstar, Greatest Hits is exactly what it says it is -- it features every one of his Top Ten singles ("Your Song," "Rocket Man," "Honky Cat," "Crocodile Rock," "Daniel," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," "Bennie and the Jets," "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"), plus the number 12 "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" and radio and concert favorite "Border Song." Despite the exclusion of a couple of lesser hits from this era, most notably "Levon" and "Tiny Dancer," Greatest Hits is a nearly flawless collection, offering a perfect introduction to Elton John and providing casual fans with almost all the hits they need.Read full review

After seeing an Elton John impersonater at Atlantic City. Elton's music kept repeating in my brain. I ordered three cds. Elton's first greatest hits was a smash but this one is okay not as good as the first. The third is on it's way but it is a live one night only show so hopefully the best is yet to come!.

Elton is one of the all time greatest artists and you can't go wrong buying this CD. This particular one I received has very low loudness, but it has nothing to do w/ the artist. He has many wonderful albums, including Yellow Brick Road, but this capture songs from various albums.... Worth the money....
If you like early 70s EJ, you won't be diappointed. I have not heard these songs in a while and it was like spooling up a time machine. An excellent companion to Vol. 1.
