I repurchased this cd for the quality.  I am a life long Elton fan and have been buying some of the remastered cd's.  Madman is really a classic.  It is not that his newer stuff is not good, it is good, but just different.  The older works are just beyond anything that I can say in words.  From 1970 to 1975 were the golden years.  That is my opinion, but I had all of the early music on LP and was still in High School in 1970.  There will only be an Elton John once in my life time and that entire era is long gone now, so I would suggest that you collect as much of the music from these artists as you can.  I have a pretty large collection of Elton, but due to the new technology they are bringing back these wonderful works of musical art and you are never too old to enjoy music.  If you like Elton John you will love this cd.
