Elton John has worked on a string of soundtracks since The Lion King arrived in 1994, writing for musicals such as Billy Eliot and the Road to El Dorado, but his first soundtrack project came all the way back in 1971, just as Elton’s career as a solo artist was beginning to take off.
Written for Lewis Gilbert’s teen romance Friends, which arrived the same year, Elton John’s soundtrack for the film returns to stores next month as part of our exclusive Centenary line-up with a new and extremely limited pressing of just 750 copies on gorgeous pink marble vinyl.
