Blue Moves' is the eleventh official album release by Elton John. Released in October 1976, It was John's second double album (after 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road') and the first to be released by his own label, Rocket Records Ltd. Despite the album's darker tone, on it's release it reached #3 on the charts, partly on the strength of the hit single "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word". The project is also marked by the string arrangements by James Newton Howard. John has stated that 'Blue Moves' is one of his favorites of the albums he has recorded. It was Gus Dudgeon's last album produced with John for almost a decade.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Carter ★★★★★

Wasn't sure I needed the second disc until I actually sat with it — the deeper cuts on there justify the double album format. The remaster sounds clean without scrubbing away the warmth of the 1976 sessions.

Samuel ★★★★★

The second disc here is where it really earns its keep, especially the long instrumental stretches that got trimmed on the original single LP. The remastering brings out the horns on "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" in a way my old vinyl never did.

Eva U. ★★★★★

I've been waiting years for this double album to get a proper remaster, and the second disc of B-sides and session outtakes alone makes it worth it. The mix on "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" sounds noticeably warmer than my old copy.
