His musical endeavors have been many – playing with such bands as The Jenerators and Seduction of the Innocent – but he may be most beloved in music as one-half of Barnes & Barnes with his late friend, Robert Haimer.

Grow Some Funk: Elton John’s ‘Rock of the Westies’ Gets a (Wide) Deluxe Release

October 8, 2026 by Mike Duquette | 9 Comments

Elton John Rock of the Westies 50th packshot

Elton John’s classic discography has been reissued in style of late, even if some of the methodology is confusing. Following deluxe editions of his self-titled sophomore album and Tumbleweed Connection (both 1970 releases) in 2008 and a belated 40th anniversary box set for 1973’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in 2014, just about every album he put out in the ’70s got a 50th anniversary issue relatively on time. But confusingly, while Madman Across the Water, Honky Chateau and Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy were all wide releases, the expansions of Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano…
