Hi Lizardson, because you are so kind, I have one question for you.
In the web, some times ago, I found the e-book of Borderline produsctions (without pics, but with all the data).
I lost it in my bookmark. Do you know about? Can you help me to find that links?
Thank u in advance.
By the way, if you like, take a look to my old web site celononcelo.com
All the best.

That's amazing!

I love Nick Drake and I've recently started listening to some earlyish Elton John: Madman, Friends, Westies, stuff off rare masters etc and was thrilled when I found this.

Thanks for the up!

Hi,
Thanks for these amazing demos. Curious, though, why the Linda Peters song 'Pied Piper' is missing from the download. It's a shame!

Thanks for sharing this treasure. In a interview I made to Linda Thompson, 11 years ago, she told me than she was very drunken in this session and did not remember anything.

Cheers!!!

When this was reposted on the Talkawhile board, it drew a response from Simon Nicol (no less) saying that he did not take part in this session and, so far as he can remember, has never made music with Elton:

The the next occasion Someone said a blog, I really hope who’s doesn't disappoint me about this blog. After all, I know it was my choice to read, but I just thought you'd have some thing intriguing to talk about. All I hear is really a number of whining about something you could fix in case you weren't too busy seeking attention.   hadeelweb.com
