ELTON JOHN ELTON JOHN ALBUM COVER IMAGE FULL
While the weather here in the Chicago area has certainly swung towards Springtime (a day spent in the gardens at the nearby Baha’i Temple found the magnolias and spring flowers in full bloom), it hasn’t quite “stuck the landing”, but I’ve gone ahead and planted basil on my balcony and can vouch for the fact that there are trees with leaves on them as I look out my office window as I write this month’s summary and continue to work on my book. Recording Industry Association of America.ALBUM COVER HALL OF FAME’S ALBUM COVER NEWS RECAP FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL, 2017
Assistant Engineers – Nigel Barker and Mike Stavrou.Martyn Ford (billed in the credits as "Mountain Fjord") – brass and orchestra.Steve Holley – tambourine on "Ball and Chain", synth drum on "I Am Your Robot".Pete Townshend – acoustic guitar on "Ball and Chain".James Newton Howard – Fender Rhodes, synthesizers, brass and string arrangements, conductor.Elton John – lead vocals, backing vocals, acoustic piano, electric grand piano, harpsichord on "Empty Garden".However, "Desperation Train" was later recorded and released by John's lyricist Bernie Taupin on his 1987 album, Tribe, with a new melody written by Martin Page. They all have yet to see circulation, either on bootlegs or officially. Outtakes from Jump Up! include "At This Time in My Life", "Desperation Train", "I'm Not Very Well", "Jerry's Law", "Moral Majority", "Waking Up in Europe" and "The Ace of Hearts and the Jack of Spades".
It had no bonus tracks but did include many new and previously released photographs of John during the early 1980s, full lyrics and snapshots of the cover art for the album's singles, along with liner notes by John Tobler. Previously available since 1983 on CD in Europe on the Rocket/Phonogram label, in 2003, John's company, Rocket, in association with Mercury/Universal Records, reissued the album on CD, remastered by Gary Moore.
It was recorded and mixed digitally at AIR Studios in Montserrat, and Pathe Marconi Studios in France. Since 1982, only "Empty Garden" and "Blue Eyes" have been performed live in concert. The album's gatefold artwork shows John's lifelong friend Vance Buck and Gary Osborne's then 5-year-old son Luke. He added, "It's a terrible, awful, disposable album, but it had 'Empty Garden' on it, so it's worth it for that one song." In the United States, it was certified gold by the RIAA in November 1982. In a 2010 Sirius radio special, John's lyricist, Bernie Taupin, talking about Jump Up!, said it was "one of our worst albums". This is the last studio album in which James Newton Howard played keyboards (although he would play keyboards with John again on the soundtrack of Gnomeo & Juliet almost 30 years later). "Legal Boys" was written by John and Tim Rice, who later wrote lyrics for The Lion King and The Road to El Dorado. This is one of the first few LPs that showcases John singing in a deeper voice, as can be heard in songs such as " Blue Eyes", "Princess", " Ball and Chain" and "Spiteful Child". The album includes " Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)", a tribute to John Lennon (who had also signed to Geffen for the release of Double Fantasy, which is now owned by EMI).
