Title: Elton John - 11-17-70
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1971, Pop, Piano Rock, London, England 6/26
Matrix #: 93105
Condition: EX, sounds great, looks good, one or two light marks (CC) | Members: Elton J (47' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Elton was still publicly closeted in 1970, building a flamboyant stage identity while hiding private sexuality inside a rock business that treated honesty like career suicide.
2. Studio Lore: The album was recorded live for a WABC-FM radio broadcast at A&R Studios in New York, with no normal concert crowd and barely any room between performance and transmission.
3. Media Narrative: Bootlegs of the broadcast spread so fast that Uni rushed out an official LP, making this one of Elton’s first records shaped by fan demand outside the label plan.
