goodbye yellow brick road

WHAT CRAP THAT THIS ALBUM HAS ONLY SOLD 12 MILLION WORLDWIDE, YOU USED RELIABLE REPORTS THAT IT HAS SOLD 30 MILLION FOR YEARS NOW THATS ONE HELL OF A DIFFERENCE AND ITS RUBBISH !!12:20, 1 June 2018 (UTC)12:20, 1 June 2018 (UTC)12:20, 1 June 2018 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.72.98.222 (talk)

Documentary ??s

I was surprised the documentary was barely mentioned in the article. I remember seeing it on a program like Midnight Special or some other music oriented program. Fascinating glimpse into how the group worked at that time. I know this is an article about the album, but since the documentary is related should info be given on the documentary with whatever source cites can be found?THX1136 (talk) 00:49, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

chronology

The article on Elton’s album “Madman Across the Water” refers at least twice to it being EJ's fourth studio album. According to the sequence laid out in the "chronology" info box, as well as the information provided in the articles on the individual previous albums, it is his fifth studio album. I edited that article to reflect that, but reverted the edit after seeing that the numbering of subsequent albums – including this one – seems to follow the "Madman" chronology. (This article describes "BYBR" as seventh, rather than eighth. Maybe it's a mistake... maybe it's a "UK releases vs US releases" thing, given that Empty Sky wasn't released in the US until '75... but whatever the reason I felt that I am not qualified to change an entire string of entries.

WBZ-FM vs. WROR

I believe the section describing "Harmony" being popular on a Boston radio station really ought to use the call letters of the station at the time of the album's release: (WROR?). Only in the 21st century did that station transition into being WBZ-FM. I would correct this myself, but I am not certain if WROR is indeed the station in question, but it does make more sense. 146.115.179.142 (talk) 02:46, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Live tracks

Why does the 2014 anniversary edition track listing end with track 9? Tracks 1 through 9 on disc 2 of this edition are covers by contemporary musicians such as Ed Sheeran and Fall Out Boy, but there are also live tracks "highlights from live at Hammersmith Odeon, December 1973" numbering 10 through 18. Some people (such as myself) would not have wished to purchase this edition if it weren't for the live tracks, so it's baffling why these are left out. 2600:6C5D:6200:463:F965:D668:838B:ED92 (talk) 04:49, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
