When Elton John and Bernie Taupin released Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy in 1975, they weren't just delivering another album - they were telling their story.

When Rock Of The Westies hit shelves on 24 October 1975, Elton John was on top of the world. Less than five months after Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, the British superstar released his tenth studio album, a record that marked both a musical shift and the close of one of the most prolific creative periods in pop history.
