Elton John - Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player
LP
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Elton John’s sixth studio album “Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player” which was originally released in January 1973 on DJM Records.
The release features the hits “Crocodile Rock” and the major hit “Daniel.” And was the first of two studio albums he released that year; it was his second straight #1 album in the U.S. and his first U.K. chart-topper.
This exclusive Record Store Day 2023 release will be re-pressed on Propeller Splatter vinyl and will include an expansive bonus disc of the album’s session demos recorded at the infamous Château d’Hérouville.
