E002 | Elton Unboxed: Twenty Vintage Elton 45s

In this video, I unbox an acquisition of twenty vintage Elton John singles (45s, 7” discs), sent from a seller in Holland, and consisting mostly of Dutch DJM and Dutch Rocket discs but also some German DJM, German Rocket, and UK Rocket discs. I also offer a bit more about my background as a lifelong Eltonographer.
