• One of the Best Records of the 20th Century
  I can't imagine anyone who enjoys the music of Elton John on any level not already owning Tumbleweed Connection in some form. Not only is this the best record EJ ever made, it is one of the finest records of the 20th century! So the only thing that could possibly be keeping any fan from getting this Deluxe Edition is not knowing whether the "improved" sound of the remaster and the bonus disc are worth the twenty dollars or so that will have to be shelled out.

• ELTON JOHN'S "Tumbleweed Connection" Gets A SENSATIONAL NEW REMASTER!!
  Reginald Dwight's 3rd album proper was released in late 1970 and firmly established Elton John as one of the great singer-songwriters of the Seventies.

The fact that it didn't have a "commercial hit" song makes it even better, because the songs were never beaten to death on the radio. The songs are sublime, artful, tasty, and masterfully played and recorded. A perfect example of... more info

• Not quite Deluxe enough
  "Tumbleweed Connection" is a fantastic re-imagining of the American West by a couple of brilliant young British songwriters who had never been there. Other reviewers here have described the album, and if you think you are interested in Elton's breakthrough years, you need to have this. The songs are inventive, poetic, and rockin', and Elton's vocals and piano playing are superb. It's beautifully arranged and recorded, but more of a piano-based rock album than the self-titled album that preceded it. There... more info
