All songs are written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John with the exception of "Love Song" by Lesley Duncan. It was recorded at Trident Studios, London, England in March 1970 and released in October 1970. It peaked at #6 on the UK Album chart and #5 on the US Billboard Pop chart in 1971. The album did not chart any singles. In 2003, the album was ranked #463 on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
