Recorded at the Studio d'enregistrement Michel Magne at the Château d'Hérouville in France, the album became a double LP once John and his band became inspired by the locale.
Among the 17 tracks, the album contains the hits ' Candle in the Wind,' US number-one single ' Bennie and the Jets,' ' Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' and ' Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting' plus live favourite ' Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.' The album has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and is widely regarded as John's magnum opus. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is the seventh studio album by English singer, pianist, and composer Elton John, first released on 5 October 1973 as a double LP.
