Out On November 13

Elton John is prepping his massive career-spanning box set titled “Elton: Jewel Box”. It’s an eight-disc collection that’s packed with deep cuts, rarities, and his greatest hits. Out on November 13, the legendary rocker personally curated the tracks and to preview the package, John streamed the previously unreleased 1969 song “Sing Me No Sad Songs.”

He said in a statement, “To delve back through every period of my career in such detail for Jewel Box has been an absolute pleasure. Hearing these long lost tracks again, I find it hard to comprehend just how prolific [lyricist] Bernie [Taupin] and I were during the early days. The songs just poured out of us, and the band were just unbelievable in the studio.”

He added, “I always want to push forward with everything I do and look to the future, but having time during lockdown to take stock and pull these moments from my memory from each era has been a joy. As a devout record collector myself, this project has really excited me, and I couldnโ€™t be happier with the level of craft involved in such a carefully curated, lovingly constructed box set. Iโ€™m sure my fans will enjoy it as much as I have.”

With a total of 148 songs recorded between 1965 and 2019 and 60 of which were previously unreleased, the set has been divided into four parts – Deep Cuts, Rarities, B-Sides 1976-2005, And This Is Me. It will be available digitally, on streaming services, and on 8CD, 4LP, 3LP, 2LP vinyl.
