Hot on the heels of a sold-out 2019 Record Store Day release and 40 years after Elton John became the first major Western pop star to play the USSR, the seminal performance ‘Live From Moscow’ with percussionist Ray Cooper finally gets a full release on 2LP vinyl, 2CD and digital formats. First broadcast by BBC Radio 1 in 1979 and the subject of the acclaimed documentary film ‘To Russia With Elton’, the audio has been fully remastered for this release by Bob Ludwig from the original BBC analogue tapes.
