Elton John - Cover Versions, Volume 2: 1977-1994

Here's Volume 2 of Elton John performing cover songs. As with Volume 1, this doesn't include the occasional cover songs on his studio albums.

Most of the tracks are from concert bootlegs, but not all. "I Heard It through the Grapevine" is a live version that was released as a B-side. "Loving You Is Sweeter than Ever" is from a Kiki Dee album. "I'm Ready - Let's Have a Party," "Up the Revolution," and "Chapel of Love" are from different kinds of various artists compilations.

The rest are all unreleased, and are all live recordings. But the sound quality is still pretty high. Most or all of those are from soundboard boots.

This album covers a big time period of 17 years. It seems John didn't perform a lot of covers in this era. But that won't be the case for the next couple of albums in this series.

This album is 52 minutes long.
