Album

Victim of Love, released in 1979, is the thirteenth studio album release for Elton John. It is a disco album, released shortly after the peak of disco's popularity. It was not critically or commercially well-received, and is Elton John's third lowest charting album to date in the US, after 1986's Leather Jackets and 1985's Ice on Fire. The title track of the album, however, was moderately successful as a single. It reached No. 31 on the US Billboard Hot 100, No. 38 in Australia and No. 46 in Canada. Текст песни: You said youd never fake it You swore wed always make it last And it sounded so real And I fell into your love 's 'Victim of Love' isn't horrible because it's Elton John going disco, but because it's a terrible collection of forgettable songs. For fans used to Johns usual long-players, full of tuneful pop and careful arrangements, dropping the needle on Victim of Love must have been a shock to the system. Soulless disco No songs by John and Bernie Taupin I wanted to make a record that people could dance to without taking the needle off, John told journalist Tom Doyle for his book Captain Fantastic: Elton John's Stellar Trip Through the '70s. I can understand why it wasnt successful. I enjoyed it, it was self-indulgent. Im not ashamed of it. The artist was not fully satisfied with the initial results of the three-song Mama Can't Buy You Love EP, which became as much a product of Philly soul maverick Thom Bell as it did John. When Bellotte approached John to record a full-length disco album, he took him up on the offer. This was providing that John's contributions would be limited to providing vocals only. The results can be heard on Victim of Love 1979, a dismissible platter of Teutonic 44 rhythms and extended mostly instrumental indulgence. This Is Me Looking At Old Photographs Part free to Elton John Victim Of Love Johnny B. Goode, Warm Love In A Cold World and more. 7 tracks 34:23. This thoroughly dated affair is the result of a chance re-acquaintance between Elton John vocals and Pete Bellotte producer. Victim of Love is the thirteenth studio album by British singersongwriter Elton John, released in 1979. Recorded at Musicland, Munich and Rusk Sound Studios, Hollywood, it was not critically or commercially well-received, and is his third lowest charting album to date in the US, after 1986's Leather Jackets and 1985's Ice on Fire. It is the shortest album of Elton John's career at under 36 minutes. The only B-side released on. It IS kind of close to Mama Can't Buy You Love, a number nine hit for Elton in 1979 produced by funkmeister Thom Bell, which bode well for an all-dancedisco album. Unfortunately, Bell had nothing to do with Street Boogie nor it's parent album VICTIM OF LOVE. Other than lead vocals, Elton himself didn't have much to do with it either. No songwriting, no keyboards, nothing. Lacking sparks, it's gone down in history as Elton's worst long player. For diehards like me, however, there's gold to be found in EVERY Elton John product Never got Chuck Berry's resp. HISPD 125. Elton John. Victim Of Love LP, Album. The Rocket Record Company. Sell This Version. MCA-5104. MCBBD22014. Victim Of Love CD, Album. MCA Records. Elton John goes disco, arguably one of his most fun listens but not in the way he probably intended. John managed to make an album that is such an absolute failure its entertaining to listen to. Key Tracks: Thunder In The Night, Born Bad. Weakest Track: Johnny B. Goode Goode lord that sax solo lmao
