You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

The self-titled second studio album by English singer-songwriter Elton John was released on 10 April 1970 by DJM Records and by Uni Records in United States. The album was the first release by John in the United States because Empty Sky was not released in the country until 1975.

The album includes John's breakthrough single "Your Song", which reached number 7 in the UK charts and helped to establish his career during what was considered the "singer-songwriter" era of popular music. In the US, it was certified gold in February 1971 by the RIAA. In the same year, it was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 468 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. On 27 November 2012, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame as an album cited as exhibiting "qualitative or historical significance".
