Empty Sky is the debut album of British singer/songwriter Elton John, released on June 3, 1969. It was finally released in the United States in January 1975, with a different cover photograph, well after John's fame had been established internationally. Recorded during the winter of 1968 and spring of 1969 in a DJM 8-track studio, "Empty Sky" is the only album in the early part of Elton's career not produced by Gus Dudgeon, instead helmed by friend and DJM staffer Steve Brown.

  • Empty Sky is the debut album of British singer/songwriter Elton John, released on June 3, 1969. It was finally released in the United States in January 1975, with a different cover photograph, well after John's fame had been established internationally. Recorded during the winter of 1968 and spring of 1969 in a DJM 8-track studio, "Empty Sky" is the only album in the early part of Elton's career not produced by Gus Dudgeon, instead helmed by friend and DJM staffer Steve Brown. While the instrumental accompaniment in Empty Sky could be classified as mildly psychedelic rock, Elton's flair for pop melody is obvious even at this early stage. [En:Empty Sky at Allmusic] Elton adds to the unique sound of the album by playing harpsichord on several tracks, including "Skyline Pigeon", which Elton has described as being "the first song Bernie and I ever got excited about that we ever wrote. " Years away from his classic 70s era band, Elton used musicians that were either his or producer Steve Brown's friends. Caleb Quaye on guitar and Roger Pope on drums, both members of the band Hookfoot at the time, played on many of the tracks. (Quaye and Pope would rejoin John a few years later as part of his studio and touring band behind "Rock of the Westies" in 1975 and "Blue Moves" in 1976. ) Tony Murray from The Troggs played bass. Notable on "Empty Sky" is the first appearance with John of then Plastic Penny and Spencer Davis Group member Nigel Olsson, who played drums on "Lady What's Tomorrow?" (Olsson and fellow Spencer Davis bandmate, bassist Dee Murray, would soon join John as his early 70s touring band. ) Also listed in the production credits is Clive Franks, who would later produce John's live sound in concert for a tremendous amount of his touring career, as well as occasionally co-produce with John on albums such as "A Single Man" and "21 at 33. " The original sleeve design was done by David Larkham (billed as "Dave"), who would go on to create designs for John and other artists. Although John has since called the album naive, he does have fond memories of making the record. These include walking home from recording at 4 a.m. and lodging at the Salvation Army HQ in Oxford Street, which was run by Steve Brown's father. "I remember when we finished work on the title track - it just floored me. I thought it was the best thing I'd ever heard in my life," John recalled.
  • Empty Sky es el álbum debut del cantante y compositor británico Elton John, a la venta en 1969 en la mayoría de los países de Europa y en 1975 en los Estados Unidos. En este album, Elton John toca todas las partes de piano en el estudio. En la actualidad este album registra 3.000.000 de ventas alrededor del mundo, suponiendo uno de los discos mas débiles del cantautor. Mientras la critica clasificó a Empty Sky como un album de rock psicodélico, es indudable notar el estilo pop de Elton en cada una de sus canciones.
  • Empty Sky on Elton Johnin ensimmäinen albumi, ja se julkaistiin vuonna 1969. Yhdysvalloissa levy julkaistiin vasta vuonna 1975, kun Johnin ura oli noussut huomattavasti. Bernie Taupinin sanoitukset olivat saaneet vaikutteita kirjoista, joita hän oli nuorena lukenut sekä populaarikulttuurista. Muun muassa J. R. R. Tolkien oli inspiroinut häntä. Johnin sävelmät taas olivat saaneet vaikutteita hänen kouluajoiltaan ja klubeilta, joilla hän oli soittanut, sekä idoleilta kuten Stevie Wonder ja J. S. Bach. Albumi levytettiin muutaman päivän aikana helmikuussa 1969. Se julkaistiin riippumattoman levy-yhtiön alaisena, sillä Philips ei halunnut julkaista levyä, jolta puuttui yhtenäinen teema.

  • Empty Sky — дебютный альбом британского музыканта Элтона Джона, выпущенный в 1969 году. Его выпустили в Соединённых Штатах Америки только в 1975 году, и уже под другой обложкой. К тому времени Элтон Джон был уже весьма популярен. Все клавишные были записаны автором в студии. В следующий раз это произошло только при записи альбома «Too Low For zero». Несмотря на то, что стиль аккомпанемента альбома скорее всего попадает в психоделический рок, склонность Элтона к поп-музыке очевидна даже на столь раннем этапе его творчества. Позже Элтон вспоминал, что был не уверен в выборе своего стиля, и может быть выбрал бы направление близкое к Леонарду Коэну.

På albumet spelar Elton alla pianoinstrument själv, något som han sedan inte gjorde förrän på Too Low for Zero. Albumet är det enda inom Eltons tidiga karriär som inte producerades av Gus Dudgeon.
