Elton John‘s 40th anniversary reissue of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road has been officially announced and is available to pre-order.
The Super Deluxe Edition includes a newly remastered version of the album, a second disc containing covers (as well as some demos and outtakes from the sessions), and a two-disc recording from Elton’s December 1973 performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. The fifth and final disc is a DVD containing the 1973 documentary Elton John and Bernie Taupin Say Goodbye To Norma Jean and Other Things. The SDE comes in a presentation box and accompanied by what looks like a really good a 100-page book (see video below).
There will also be a two-CD deluxe, which will just have CD 1 & 2 from the SDE, as well as a 2LP vinyl version (album only) and a Pure Audio Blu-ray audio edition. As usual it is a bit of a guessing game about whether a 5.1 surround will be on this hi-res version. No details are being offered, although we do expect stereo and surround mixes to be included.
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 40th Anniversary editions are released on 24 March 2014.
