Talk:Elton John singles discography

Final column....
The final column has a blank header. What is it supposed to represent? 172.145.246.159 19:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * If there's no explanation of what the final column is by July 15th, I'll delete it. 172.162.130.63 17:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea. I came here to ask why the single "I Saw Her Standing There" by Elton John & John Lennon is listed in this article as being released from the album 17-17-70 in 1981. The discography section of the Wikipedia article for that album shows that this song is NOT included on 17-11-70 (released 9 April 1971) in either it's original issue, (which would have been a neat trick since the song was recorded during the only live performance John Lennon made with Elton John on 28 Nov.1974) or the later 1995 Mercury and 1996 Rocket reissues. Since this article gives a release year of 1981 for the single, and for the dates of releases listed in the 17-11-70 article, it seems impossible the single is from 17-11-70.

The Wikipedia article; I Saw Her Standing There, is not helpful as it mainly concerns The Beatles, and for reasons far beyond my simple minded comprehension, has a feature about the 1987 Tiffany single. Anyhow the "versions by others" section of that article is not comprehensive and does not include the 1981 single release listed in this article .The Wikipedia article; List of cover versions of the Beatles songs, gives only the 1975 release of the song as a B-side of Philadelphia Freedom.

I suspect that as with "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", and "Ego", etc., the song was released as a non album single. I have a foggy memory from around that time of seeing a single in a record store by the pair, this would have been a sometime after Lennon's murder.

Also the singles discography Lists "From Denver to L.A." even though the Wikipedia article on the song states that it was withdrawn after John's record label objected. It was released in the U.S. on the Viking label with credit given to "ELTON JOHNS" with a B-side by another artist, apparently without the knowledge or consent of Dick James Music or UNI, John's labels at the time. I feel that although it was released as a single it should not be included here since it was unauthorized by the record companies that had John under contract, or at the very least have a notation about it's unofficial status.

Other than the points I've mentioned the list is outstanding and has been a extremely useful tool for me in compiling a complete list of his singles for download. Jonel469 (talk) 20:39, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Referencing problems
In, made edits  that caused about a dozen visible referencing errors. Their edits have no summaries, so we have no idea what their intention might have been. I've done my best to restore them, but some aren't repairable. And even with fixes in place, it seems like several bits of material are referenced from two different sources even though they're the same information ... and that the quality of the referencing is worse than it once was. Should the changes simply be reverted, instead? -- Mikeblas (talk) 16:03, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
