(C45s)I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues/ The Retreat by Elton John

Label: Geffen 29460 Year: 1983
Picture sleeve included: M-
Condition: M- $12.00
I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues/ The RetreatThis single is one of many that include a previously unreleased, non-album cut on the flip. In this case, this isn't a throwaway song -- it's a beautiful ballad in the best Elton John tradition. Back with his original partner, Bernie Taupin, John puts on an emotional performance that's reminiscent of his early albums... before he let his silly gene take over. :-) "The Retreat," like the snapshot of a war whose tale it tells, is well worth remembering, even though it only appeared on a B side. The picture sleeve is nearly flawless!
