Elton released his first soundtrack in 1970 on the "Viking" record lable. It was called "The Games" and is very obscure and quit rare among collectors. I had doubted it's existance up until the early 90's when I came across a copy of it at a used record store in Princeton, NJ. That was 20 years ago and it is the only copy I have ever seen. I should have bought it but the asking price at the time was $100 and although the record was in near mint condition, the cover was pretty trashed. It is listed in Goldmine's price guide to collectable record LP's - first five editions (probibaly more, but I stopped collecting after that and did not buy subsequent issues of the price guide). There were no indications that it was a bootleg and all the properties that were listed in the price guide were evident on this copy (Label/Label color, markings in trail off vinyl, Catolouge number, Etc.) In the price guides that I mentioned, the going price at the time for this LP with the RECORD AND COVER in near mint condition was $200.
