{"product_id":"elton-john-the-thom-bell-sessions","title":"Elton John - The Thom Bell Sessions","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollowing a stellar run of smash albums and singles throughout the early-‰Û÷70s, Elton John turned in 1977 to the warm sounds of soul music for his next step. Thom Bell was already a name producer for the ‰Û÷Philly Sound‰۪ and for his work with some of the era‰۪s biggest R\u0026amp;B acts like The Stylistics and the Detroit Spinners. The fruits of their collaboration would not find an official release until 1979 by which time Elton‰۪s ever-restless muse had moved on but the sessions were not destined to languish in obscurity. By the late-‰Û÷90s copies of the original 1979 12‰۝ were changing hands for serious money among house heads and in 2003 Ashley Beedle‰۪s spirited remix of the lead track ‰Û÷Are You Ready For Love‰۪ gave Elton a much-deserved Number 1 single. For Record Store Day 2016 they‰۪re once again available in all their full-length glory on this 2-track vinyl release.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":64322647523705,"sku":null,"price":9.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/elton-john-the-thom-bell-sessions-south-records-ltd_19aa938f-e038-4d36-88b0-445608bf7d86.jpg?v=1787902817","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/elton-john-the-thom-bell-sessions","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
