TWO ROOMS: CELEBRATING THE SONGS OF ELTON JOHN & BERNIE TAUPIN (ORIGINAL 1991 VINYL LP) Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin is a 1991 tribute album consisting of interpretations of sixteen songs written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. The title refers to the song on Elton John's album 21 at 33, "Two Rooms at the End of the World" and to the duo's unusual collaborative style; it is also the title of a 1991 movie documenting their collaboration. The album gained an uneven reception, with Sinéad O'Connor’s interpretation of "Sacrifice" generally receiving the most praise. Kate Bush's reggae-inflected version of "Rocket Man" was released as a single and peaked at No. 12 in the UK and No. 2 in Australia (where it beat the original version's chart position by several places). In 2007 the track won The Observer readers' award for Greatest Cover of all time. Another single release was Oleta Adams' version of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", which peaked at No. 33 in the UK charts. Wilson Phillips' cover of "Daniel", while not released as a single, peaked at No. 7 in the US Adult Contemporary chart due to strong radio airplay.

The sleeves have had dates written on them reflecting when they were listened to, while the back of the main record sleeve has the date that the record was bought. There may also be some instances of clicks and/or surface noise. This is quite usual and should not spoil your listening pleasure. Happy Bidding!
