Elton John Announces 50th Anniversary Deluxe Madman Across The Water With Previously Unreleased Tracks

Elton John’s album Madman Across The Water is getting an 50th anniversary deluxe edition. It’ll be available on a few formats (3CD/1 Blu-Ray, 4LP, 2CD, and 1LP sets) on June 10. The most exhaustive of those is the Super Deluxe box set, which will feature 18 previously unreleased tracks, a reproduction of a poster from 1971, and a 104-page book featuring photos, essays and interviews, and other material taken from the Rocket Archive.

All of the Madman Across The Water 50th anniversary editions contain the 2016 remaster of the album. The previously unreleased tracks include piano demos of the songs from it and the audio from BBC’s Sounds For Saturday concert that was broadcast in 1972.
