Chartbusters Go Pop (subtitled 20 Legendary Covers from 1969/70 as sung by Elton John) is a compilation album of cover versions by Elton John. These recordings are from the days prior to Elton John's success as a solo performer. They are taken from a variety of periodically issued budget-priced compilations of hit songs, under brand names including Top of the Pops, Chartbusters and Hot Hits. These were issued by budget labels including Music for Pleasure and featured current or recent hits re-recorded, with varying degrees of note-for-note accuracy, by nameless 'soundalike' performers. Like many other jobbing session singers of the time, John worked as a vocalist on these albums.

  • Chartbusters Go Pop (subtitled 20 Legendary Covers from 1969/70 as sung by Elton John) is a compilation album of cover versions by Elton John. These recordings are from the days prior to Elton John's success as a solo performer. They are taken from a variety of periodically issued budget-priced compilations of hit songs, under brand names including Top of the Pops, Chartbusters and Hot Hits. These were issued by budget labels including Music for Pleasure and featured current or recent hits re-recorded, with varying degrees of note-for-note accuracy, by nameless 'soundalike' performers. Like many other jobbing session singers of the time, John worked as a vocalist on these albums. These covers compilations were cheaply recorded, cheaply priced, and sold in large quantities until, in 1972, compilations featuring the original artists were introduced by such labels as K-Tel. The public preferred the original recordings and the market for cheap cover compilations rapidly declined. This album collects together John's contributions to a variety of covers albums issued during 1969 and 1970. This collection was released by minor labels in the UK and US in 1994 and was re-issued many times afterwards. (en)
  • Chartbusters Go Pop! 20 Legendary Covers from 1969/70 as Sung by Elton John è un album dell'artista britannico Elton John, distribuito dalla K-Tel. Nessun brano è stato composto da Elton: tutte le tracce, infatti, sono delle reinterpretazioni di altri artisti, da lui registrate perché all'epoca esse possedevano una certa notorietà. L'allora sconosciuto Reg Dwight cercava infatti di sbarcare il lunario anche proponendo proprie versioni di successi altrui. Questo è anche uno dei motivi per cui le tracce suonino raramente "alla Elton": egli infatti aveva cercato di riprodurre il sound originale più fedelmente possibile. I brani furono registrati nel 1969/70 per essere pubblicati in varie compilation (non c'è mai stato originariamente l'intento di fare un album vero e proprio); Chartbusters, che comprende alcuni di essi, fu messa sul mercato nel 1994. Questo perché Elton non aveva alcun potere decisionale, dato che all'epoca, come già detto, lavorava su commissione. (it)
