“I love vinyl so much […] The tactile nature, the ritual of it, looking at the sleeve … especially with the old albums and the liner notes – who played on them, the process of putting it on, the needle going on and the sound coming out. And it does sound better, I know it does. I’ve been around long enough to know, I’ve been in so many studios … It does sound better. So it’s just the wonder of having vinyl.” (Elton John til Rolling Stone)

Den årlige fejring af de forsvindende pladeforretninger – Record Store Day – er lige op over. Og en af dem, der bidrager med noget er Elton John, der genudgiver sin Greatest live-plade. Og i den forbindelse lovpriser John vinylpladen som medium.
