{"product_id":"elton-john-madman-across-the-water-lp","title":"Elton John - Madman Across The Water (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMADMAN ACROSS THE WATER produced only a couple of minor hits, which may have something to do with the fact that its best songs are all five or six minutes long. But they're among the strongest songs in the entire Elton John catalog--especially the lovely opening track, \"Tiny Dancer,\" which builds from a light, delicately melodic verse to a sweeping, dramatic chorus. Another highlight is the inscrutably biographic \"Levon,\" whose title character was born \"on a Christmas day when the New York Times said God is dead.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn's luxurious piano melodies, Bernie Taupin's poetic lyrics, and Paul Buckmaster's lush string arrangements all stretch out on MADMAN, giving the record a grandiose, sweeping feel when it is not riding dark, surging currents, as on the memorably edgy title track. There is a painstaking, interior quality here that goes missing from John's early pop-song oriented albums and from the later excesses of GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD. For this reason, MADMAN ON THE WATER is a crucial, unique addition to the John catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Tiny Dancer\u003cbr\u003eA2 Levon\u003cbr\u003eA3 Razor Face\u003cbr\u003eA4 Madman Across The Water\u003cbr\u003eB1 Indian Sunset\u003cbr\u003eB2 Holiday Inn\u003cbr\u003eB3 Rotten Peaches\u003cbr\u003eB4 All The Nasties\u003cbr\u003eB5 Goodbye\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097677803779,"sku":"I0NURV-MKJP-00","price":29.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/elton-john-madman-across-the-water-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
