Honky Chateau

This is a limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Originally released in 1972, Honky Chateau offers a lively mix of ballads, rockers, blues, country - rock, and soul songs. Elton John is at his best, creating perfect pop songs with catchy melodies and strong hooks. Hit songs like 'Honky Cat' and 'Rocket Man' are included. The album was named after the 18th - century French chateau, Château d'Hérouville, where it was recorded. It reached number one in the US, being the first of seven consecutive US number - one albums for Elton John. A third single, 'Hercules', was planned but never released. This album marks Elton John's shift from a singer - songwriter to a more rock 'n' roll style. It also features John's road band with Dee Murray on bass, Nigel Olsson on drums, and new member Davey Johnstone on guitars as the core musicians.

To use this vinyl LP, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the start of the groove. Enjoy the rich, warm sound of Elton John's classic album. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After use, carefully place it back in its sleeve to protect it. Store the record upright in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently remove dust. Don't expose the record to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as this can damage the vinyl.
