Elton John has stated that ‘Blue Moves’ is one of his favourites of the albums he has recorded. It was the last record that Gus Dudgeon produced with him for almost a decade. The cover art is from a painting by British artist Patrick Procktor. Critically panned at the time, 40+ years later, many now recognise ‘Blue Moves’ as a great work. When you look at the long list of guest musicians, the superb production and engineering and the writing and performances, ‘Blues Moves’ is a quiet opus that documents Elton moving in a less commercial, different direction musically at that time.

Condition – Vinyl: EXCELLENT! Couple of very light surface marks, occasionally / briefly audible. Mostly a very quiet album and a wonderful pressing!

Condition – Cover: VERY GOOD PLUS! Some foxing on inner gatefold, previous owner has written on back of obi.

Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Nice condition Japanese pressings are becoming scarcer ~ therefore more collectable and valuable every year.
