ELTON JOHN
Regimental Sergeant Zippo (RSD 2021 Edition)
The album that never was, is available for the first time on Record Store Day, June 12.
Recorded at Dick James Studios in Central London between late 1967 and Spring 1968, Regimental Sgt. Zippo was all set to introduce Elton John to the world before it was ultimately shelved. The world would have to wait a little longer for Elton’s debut, coming in the form of 1969's Empty Sky, and Zippo would be lost in the archives. Until now.
Six of the 12 songs were released on Jewel Box, but five are here in their finished versions for the first time and a debut release for You’ll Be Sorry To See Me Go.
