DESCRIPTION
Very good copy of Elton John's album, Rock Of The Westies. Slight wear on the cover. Tested, washed, and played.
Rock of the Westies is the tenth studio album by English musician Elton John, released on 20 October 1975 in the US and 24 October 1975 in the UK.[6] The title is a spoonerism on the phrase "West of the Rockies", the album having been recorded at Caribou Ranch in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.[7]
Released less than five months after his previous album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, Rock of the Westies repeated that album's then-unprecedented feat of entering the US Billboard 200 chart at number one, and was John's final chart-topping studio album in that country. It was also successful (albeit to a lesser extent) in the artist's home territory of the UK, where it reached No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart. Robert Christgau ranked it as No. 7 on his list of the best albums of 1975.[8]
