Some Sweet Day/ Weirdhouse

This is a promo copy of a very interesting recording Nigel Olsson--with friends Elton John, Caleb Quaye, and others from the Elton John band--put together in late 1971. It's from the period when Elton John & co. were putting together the classic albums Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water, and it shows in the great sound they captured here. Unfortunately, Olsson isn't really much of a singer. But you can imagine how great this gospel-themed tune would have sounded with Elton John singing as well as playing piano. :-) Note: Olsson is credited on the label as "Nigel Olsson's Drum Orchestra and Chorus."
