Performer Notes
Initial pressings of this first edition contain a bonus disc.
Recorded between 1970 & 2002. Includes liner notes by Paul Gambaccini.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Greatest Hits 1970-2002 is a nearly flawless double-disc set commemorating Elton John's three-decade career. Disc one features what may arguably be John's most essential work: Seeing songs such as "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," "Candle in the Wind," and "Bennie and the Jets" -- not to mention "Your Song," "Rocket Man," and "Tiny Dancer" -- lined up back to back reaffirms just how diverse, and yet universal, his songwriting talent is. Disc two finds this talent maturing gracefully into the '80s, '90s, and beyond, touching on pop gems like "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," "I'm Still Standing," and "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" as well as his Lion King classic "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" and the Aida duet "Written in the Stars" with LeAnn Rimes. The collection also finds room for the highlights of his most recent albums, including Made in England's "Believe" and "Blessed," The Big Picture's "Something About the Way You Look Tonight," and Songs from the West Coast's "This Train Don't Stop Here Anymore." For most casual fans, Greatest Hits 1970-2002 will replace the need for collections such as Greatest Hits, Greatest Hits, Vol. 2, and Greatest Hits, Vol. 3, although these collections are still worthwhile as of-their-time retrospectives of John's work. ~ Heather Phares

Despite not being a die-hard Elton John fan, I would recommend this album for those who listen to him in moderation (high levels of listening to him may pose dangerous). Good for a laugh and captures of those golden oldies, as well as some of the newer songs like Circle of Life. I would rate this cd with 3.5 - 4 stars.
An excellent album consisting of some of their best songs, a great complication. I enjoyed the majority all of the tracks on here, but felt some of their best work was missing. In spite of this is still a must have to any fan and for the great price you can’t go wrong...

The ultimate collection for any Elton fan. It has all the songs we love and the new ones like "this train" and more. The sound quality is fantastic and listening to it reminds of you of just how talented an artist Elton is. I'd recommend this to even a non fan who will definitely convert after listening to these selections.
What can i say, this guy is legendary, excellent piano player, amazing vocals and has done many performances with other artists like guns n roses, queen, country singers. etc, so for any rock fan, this album is an essential, it contains all the great stuff by him, i dont have this exact one, i have an older cd. But it contains pretty much all these songs.
If your a new listener to Elton John, which i doubt, then this is perfect, if your a long time fan of Elton John, u wouldnt even need to read these reviews.
For fans of elton john, or just really good music - this would be a great album to get. Usually greatest hits albums are pretty failsafe, but this one really goes ahead and displays all of the most brillint songs that elton has ever released. You will listen to this again and again, so its worth the money.
