Elton John's debut album Empty Sky came out in 1969 to little fanfare, but in 1968, he recorded a whole different album with a whole different vibe called Regemental Sgt. Zippo, which would've been a kind of summer of love type deal, but a year late, like Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies. Zippo finally came out this year, but maybe like two years ago or something, Elton John released a career and rarities retrospectve called Jewel Box which included a fat stack of early demos and previously unreleased tracks.
If one only uses the Arranged Band tracks and Band Demos, then you see that Elton could've put out two full lenth LPs in 1968!
