John, Elton

Caribou
1974 UK import original. VG+, some light surface noise, music dominates. With custom inner sleeve featuring complete lyrics on one side and a great shot of Elton on the other. "Caribou" is the eighth studio album by English musician Elton John, released in June 1974. The album was recorded at the Caribou Ranch in Colorado, which provided its name. Produced by Gus Dudgeon, "Caribou" features a blend of rock, pop, and glam elements. Despite being recorded in a relatively short period, the album showcases the tight collaboration between Elton John and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin. Notable tracks include the hit singles "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and "The Bitch Is Back," both of which exemplify the dynamic range and emotive power of John's performance and Taupin's lyrical prowess. "Caribou" achieved significant commercial success, topping the charts in multiple countries and earning a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. In addition to its singles, the album contains other memorable songs like "Pinky" and "I've Seen the Saucers," which, while less commercially prominent, contribute to the album's eclectic and robust character. The album's cover, featuring a flamboyant Elton John in a futuristic outfit, is reflective of the artist's extravagant stage persona during the mid-1970s. Overall, "Caribou" solidified Elton John's reputation as one of the era's leading musical talents.
